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.

        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

        mutex_lock(&ax_local->spi_lock);

        netif_stop_queue(ndev);

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