* [PATCH] d80211: ieee80211_hw handlers should be allowed to sleep

  To: Jiri Benc; +Cc: netdev, Jan Kiszka

This patch changes the ieee80211_if_sta timer structure
into a workqueue. This will allow the config(), reset_tsf()
and config_interface() handlers in the ieee80211_hw
structure to sleep. This is especially required for USB
drivers that have to sleep for all register access.

Note that this patch is created against the dscape git tree,
this patch will likley not apply cleanly against the wireless-dev git tree.

This is racy. local->scan_work.data can be set to NULL only after
flush_scheduled_work().

Other than that, the patch looks good to me.

Thanks,

Would something like the patch below be better?
It keeps the flush_scheduled_work() at the same location, but a second
is added in case local->scan_work.data != sdata->dev

Jan, was there any particular reason to move flush_cheduled_work() outside of the if-statement?
