Again, I would not trust the fakelb driver. Because I see some things
which goes wrong in this driver. See below.

This occurs because the fakelb driver transmit a frame and also receive
the same frame, this should not happen. I think this is an easy fix, but
no time and too lazy such things to fix that. Also the fakelb driver
should be easily to change it to xmit_async behaviour.

Meanwhile I think to told everytime that I declare the fakelb driver as
broken costs more time to implement a new one. :-)

Did you saw this here?

Smells like a wrong error handling. I don't see in the other message no
where exactly the NULL pointer dereference is.

I see many workqueue things, the mrf24j40 uses still the xmit_sync
callback so the tx handling of mac802154 uses a workqueue there but I
see no issues with some memory leaking in memory handling.

I need more debug output, then I can maybe say what's wrong here.


btw: I noticed now, that the isr of mrf24j40 calls spi_sync, which
scares me a little bit.

yep, that's true I recently sent a patch to this list for fixing this issue.
