Hi Jakub,

right, sorry for that. I will add some more info here so Kalle can add
it to the commit log merging the patch.

"
The following crash log can occur unplugging the usb dongle since,
after the urb poison in mt7601u_free_tx_queue(), usb_submit_urb() will
always fail resulting in a skb kfree while the skb has been already
queued.
Fix the issue enqueuing the skb only if usb_submit_urb() succeed.
"

@Kalle: is it ok or do you prefer to resubmit? (sorry for the noise)

Regards,
Lorenzo
