Nit: typically, it's best if the changelog is placed after the
Sign-offs, so that the first "---" line denotes the beginning of text
that can be discarded. (Typically the changelog doesn't go into the
final git commit, and it also happens that git-am discards everything
between the first "---" line and the actual patch content.)

Overall, I think this change is good, and it tests out fine for me so
far. Do we have the same problem for other interfaces too? e.g., SDIO?
It seems to me that the root problem is generic (i.e., don't try to
SLEEP while processing TX traffic) but the symptom just happened to be
fatal on a particular PCIe controller.
