In theory, the firmware acks the received a data frame, before signaling the driver to free it again.
However Artur Skawina has shown that it can happen in reverse order as well.
This is very bad and could lead to memory corruptions, oopses and panics.
Thanks to Artur Skawina <art.08.09@xxxxxxxxx> for reporting and debugging this issue.
