Problem Details: An earlier commit, 'ath9k: remove dummy PCI "retry timeout" fix', removed code that was documented to disable RETRY_TIMEOUT register (PCI reg 0x41) since it was claimed to be a no-op. However, it turns out that there are some combinations of hosts and ath9k-supported cards for which this is not a no-op...

Problem Details: The iwm_if_free() is called before destroy_workqueue for isr_wq on device remove method.

Problem Details: My previous patch, which explicitly delays freeing of tnodes by adding them to the list to flush them after the update is finished, isn't strict enough.
