[PATCH v3 1/2] ks8842: Do the TX timeout work in workqueue context.

[PATCH v3 1/2] ks8842: Do the TX timeout work in workqueue context.

[Richard Röjfors]

Currently all code that needs to be run at TX timeout is done in the
calling context, where bottom halves are disabled. Some of the code
blocks, so it needs to be done in a different context. This patch
adds in a work struct which is scheduled at TX timeout. Then the
timeout code is executed within work queue context.
