[PATCH] wl1251: fix crash on remove due to premature kfree

[Grazvydas Ignotas]

Currently SDIO glue frees it's own structure before calling
wl1251_free_hw(), which in turn calls ieee80211_unregister_hw().
The later call may result in a need to communicate with the chip
to stop it (as it happens now if the interface is still up before
rmmod), which means calls are made back to the glue, resulting in
freed memory access.

Fix this by freeing glue data last.

[PATCH] wl1251: fix crash on remove due to leftover work item

[Grazvydas Ignotas]

This driver currently leaves elp_work behind when stopping, which
occasionally results in data corruption because work function ends
up accessing freed memory, typical symptoms of this are various
worker_thread crashes. Fix it by cancelling elp_work.
