Dear Jakubju,

Sorry for my late reply. I had a busy week.

I have taken a look at similar fixes implemented in other drivers, but
I do think your advice is more precious for I'm not familiar with the
driver.

Based on your experience and expertise, what do you think would be the
most effective solution to address the race condition issue that you
have identified in the emac_remove function of the qcom/emac driver? I
appreciate any insights or suggestions that you might have on this
matter.

Thank you for your time and help.

Best regards,
Zheng Wang
