No, that's wrong. mc32_send_packet is the hard_start_xmit function,
called from bottom half context, with the dev_xmit_lock spinlock held.
Additionally, you must replace the sleep_on calls with wait_event, or an
open-coded wait queue: sleep_on is racy, it only works with cli().

IMHO the right way to fix cli() is
- add a single spinlock to the driver or the device structure. Do not
forget the spin_lock_init().
- replace cli/sti with spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqsave.
- Additionally acquire the spinlock in every interrupt handler (cli()
stops all interrupts, spinlocks only stop interrupt on the current cpu).
- check if there were recursive cli() calls. Fix them.
- replace all sleep_on calls with wait queue calls.
- check if there are any kmalloc or schedule calls in the area now under
the spinlock, and reorganize the code.

And please add a changelog entry that code was converted without testing.

Oh, I didn't no that..

Yes.

But doesn't wait_queue call schedule()?

Ok.

Thanks for your review, will work on those.
