This is true even when mac80211 has a work struct that gets scheduled. Fix this by synchronizing with the firmware after sending all those commands - outside of the iteration we can send a synchronous echo command that just has the effect of the CPU waiting for the prior asynchronous commands to finish. This also will cause fewer of the commands to be sent to the firmware overall, because the work will only run once when rescheduled multiple times while it's running.
