1)

Nit: the scope of 'wait_d' is unnecessarily broad, it could be moved to 
the block that uses it.

2)

Also, the changelog mentions that dev->wait can race - it would be nice to 
add to the changelog what exact synchronization mechanism protects 
usbnet_terminate_urbs() and usbnet_bh() from seeing/modifying that value 
at once - as the code was clearly written without such interaction in 
mind.

3)

Can that runtime initialization be avoided by using 
DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD()?

Thanks,
