The tcb_send_qlock spinlock is unlocked in all three paths at the end of et131x_tx_timeout(). We can call it once before entering any of the paths, saving ourselves a few lines of code. This change puts tcb->count++ outside of the lock, but et131x_tx_timeout() itself is protected by the tx_global_lock, so this shouldn't matter.
