Drivers that load firmware from their probe routine have problems with the
latest versions of udev as they get timeouts while waiting for user
space to start. The problem is fixed by loading the firmware and starting
mac80211 from a delayed_work queue. By using this method, most of the
original code is preserved.

Any testing done here?

insmod immediately followed by rmmod causes NULL pointer dereference.
The same always happens on rmmode when the firmware image is absent:

Thanks for testing.
