Apparently you missed Michael B=FCsch's comment:

"Thanks for the patch.

However, this does not work. We are in atomic context here.
Please see the b43-dev mailing list archives for a recent thread about =
that.
I'm also pretty sure that this is safe without lock, due to the higher =
level=20
locks in mac80211."

Did you actually test the patch? If Michael is right, and I trust him o=
n this=20
matter, your patch should lock the system.
