Hello Heiner,

The implementation is a locked single queue xmit. Not sure how
netdev_queues.h fits into the picture here. I believe I am handling
the queue restart here.
+static int bcmasp_tx_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
+{
[snip]
+ if (released)
+ netif_wake_queue(intf->ndev);
+
+ return 0;
+}
Let me know if I am misunderstanding the feedback here.

Thanks,
Justin
