This locking looks excessive, and shouldn't be needed simply to
release a reference to an object.

When is qc_suspend() called with a NULL iface arguemnt?

Likewise, and if it is needed use consistent tests for NULL.  Testing
against the integer "0" is definitely the wrong way.

Please do it like this:

	if (A &&
	    B) {

Not like:

	if (A
	&&  B

the latter looks awful at best.

These NULL checks are everywhere!  Do we really _ever_ create a full
registered netdev with any of these things being NULL?  I severely
doubt it.

This NULL check is impossible, you register the worker function with an
explicit &dev->worker argument, so seeing NULL here is impossible.

Again, kill this NULL check noise, all of it can't be necessary.

Setting netdev->trans_start in drivers is expensive and deprecated,
please set netdev_queue->trans_start instead.

Again, excessive NULL checks.

Here too.

Remove this function and use hex_to_bin() instead.
