  In xgmac_probe, the priv->tx_timeout_work is bound with 
xgmac_tx_timeout_work. In xgmac_remove, if there is an 
unfinished work, there might be a race condition that 
priv->base was written byte after iounmap it.

Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup.

Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, I was eager to report the fix and ignored that. Thanks for
pointing that out.

Yes, I agree with that. Thanks for your advice. I learned a lot from it.
