HW should never attempt to perform DMA for unused queues. For rtl8187se this is ensured by setting a dedicated register at init time, before enabling TX. In rtl8180/5 the register is only written at the first TX (because in rtl8180/5 it serves also to kick DMA for used queues). This should be enough, but it's worth to add a register write at init time, before enabling TX.
