This was a bit tricky. The function now looks like this (details in the
comments). In theory there is a chance of dropping a packet if the
ax88796c_work() runs between phy_stop() and mutex_lock(), but I'd say
the overall risk is negligible.

static int
ax88796c_close(struct net_device *ndev)
{
struct ax88796c_device *ax_local = to_ax88796c_device(ndev);

phy_stop(ndev->phydev);

/* We lock the mutex early not only to protect the device
* against concurrent access, but also avoid waking up the
* queue in ax88796c_work(). phy_stop() needs to be called
* before because it locks the mutex to access SPI.
*/
mutex_lock(&ax_local->spi_lock);

netif_stop_queue(ndev);

/* No more work can be scheduled now. Make any pending work,
* including one already waiting for the mutex to be unlocked,
* NOP.
*/
clear_bit(EVENT_SET_MULTI, &ax_local->flags);
clear_bit(EVENT_INTR, &ax_local->flags);
clear_bit(EVENT_TX, &ax_local->flags);

/* Disable MAC interrupts */
AX_WRITE(&ax_local->ax_spi, IMR_MASKALL, P0_IMR);
__skb_queue_purge(&ax_local->tx_wait_q);
ax88796c_soft_reset(ax_local);

mutex_unlock(&ax_local->spi_lock);

cancel_work_sync(&ax_local->ax_work);

free_irq(ndev->irq, ndev);

return 0;
}

I looked at diff --stat and decided it is OK to put my name there (-;
