Interesting. This shouldn't do anything. If there is a TX operation in
progress then ->start_tx() will simply return and the xmit buffer will
be send once the current TX operation completes.

Is there anything I can do to reproduce this behavior?
This problem only pops-up if you use DMA. With disabled DMA you don't
see this, right?
