Probably a question for Vladimir.

Is there a potential use after free here? Is it guaranteed that the
masters dev->dsa_ptr will be cleared before the disconnect function is
called?

Also, the receive function checks for tagger_data->decode_frame2reg,
but does not check for tagger_data != NULL.

This is just a straight copy of tag_qca, so if there are issues here,
they are probably not new issues.
