This should go to net branch, so title should be:

 [PATCH net] net: calxeda: fix race condition in xgmac_remove due to unfinshed work

>From history commit, it seems more common to use "net: calxedaxgmac" instead of
"net: calxeda", I am not sure which one is better.

Also there should be a Fixes tag for net branch, maybe:

Fixes: 8746f671ef04 ("net: calxedaxgmac: fix race between xgmac_tx_complete and xgmac_tx_err")

It seems the blow function need to stop the dev_watchdog() from
calling dev->netdev_ops->ndo_tx_timeout before calling
cancel_work_sync(&priv->tx_timeout_work), otherwise the
dev_watchdog() may trigger the priv->tx_timeout_work to run again.

	netif_tx_disable(ndev);
