Subject: [3.17-rc3] Warning in ieee80211_can_queue_work

I am using the kernel 3.17-rc3 which I compiled today and
I get the warning below right before suspending to RAM:

The reason for such an early suspend (37 seconds after booting) is
related to another issue which I hope to describe in another email but
which is "fixed" by a suspend cycle.

The wireless seems to be working fine right now though, using the 'b43'
module.

I'm not sure if the warning is new in 3.17-rcX since I haven't tested
the previous releases for a while (sorry), but I can test patches.

The kernel config and dmesg are here:
