Change to:  "it should be deleted altogether"

Move this assignment outside of locked region, i.e. after spin_unlock_irqrestore().

Please remove this test.  Since you removed ptp_release() from
ptp_read(), the queue cannot be NULL.

Move this assignment outside of locked region.

This is good, but please put it into a separate patch, along with the
removal of the bogus "if (queue)" test in ptp_release().

Please change this comment to "protects tsevqs from concurrent access"

Since v6.6 now contains the original commit, please change subject to [net].
