Hi Krzysztof,
Thanks for your reply.

I think adding a lock seems to be a better solution, however, acquire a 
lock on each access to dev->cmd does not seem to be an appropriate 
implementation.
I wonder whether you think it is appropriate to acquire a lock at the 
beginning of pn533_recv_frame(), and release it when 
pn533_wq_cmd_complete() is finished, thus ensuring that another work 
will not start when one pn533_wq_cmd_complete() work is not yet finished.

Best regards,
