 This makes it much easier to add further rework to avoid race conditions
 between reset and other work items.
 Move other functions to make ath_reset static.

Once you decide to do reset, do not continue with tx process.
I'll look into it.

This is already in work thread. why don't you use ath_reset here like
ath_hw_pll_rx_hang_check.
I also changed ath_hw_pll_rx_hang_check to queue the reset work, because ath_reset cancels the work items before continuing with the hardware reset.
