Hi Tommaso,

Thank you for the patch.

There's an instance of msleep() earlier in this function, surrounded by
spin_unlock_irqrestore() and spin_lock_irqsave(). I wondered if we
should do the same here, but that lead to a second question: why does
the driver need to cover the whole stop procedure with a spinlock in the
first place ?
