I don't know this driver...
What does this tasklet do? Is it safe for it to run after the netdev
is unregistered, and the PHY and the mdio bus is gone? Maybe this
tasklet_kill should be after the interrupt is disabled, but before the
netdev is unregistered?
If you have one bug here, there might be others.
