Subject: Re: [PATCH] can: slcan: fix freed work crash

This patch fixes the crash, but is IMHO incomplete: The flush_work() in
.ndo_stop() should also be removed, since its existence implies
unexpected behaviour.

In other words, my moving it there in can327 was a double mistake, and
slcan just happened to copy my mistake over.

I'm preparing a patch for can327, and it will remove the flush from
.ndo_stop(). What shall we do about slcan?
