Weird.
So where does it panic if you skip with sdata->dev == NULL?

I don't see how sdata->dev can possibly be NULL. Hmm. Ok, I think we may
not be recycling things correctly. Is it possible that this is a frame
that was rejected by the device, or maybe a frame that was attempted to
transmit, but then got into software retransmit?
