Here's an interesting sequence:

1) a TX urb is submitted.
2) p54u_rx_cb() => p54_rx_frame_sent(), which does kfree_skb( the_skb_in_(1) ).
3) p54u_tx_cb() for (1) is called with the same, now freed, skb. kaboom.

IOW the skb is freed before the usb completion runs.

Somehow i don't think this is the reason for the corruption, but it certainly
seems to be responsible for some, if not all, of the crashes/panics.
