Mutter.  Nothing to be said at all?

This arrangement is pretty user-hostile.  It requires that people
reconfigure and rebuild their kernel any time they want to change the
driver options.

It would be much better to be able to do this via a kernel boot option.

It would be better still to be able to do this via a module parameter.

It would be better still to be able to do this via a runtime knob:
ioctl, sysfs file, whatever.

it would be better still to do all this automatically at probe time.

What you've chosen here is the worst possible solution, sorry.

If the calling task has signal_pending() then the
schedule_timeout_interruptible() will return immediately.  I bet this
breaks the driver.

Fixable by using schedule_timeout_uninterruptible().

I don't see any locking which protects the tx_buff.

blank line here.

please prefer to put a blank line after end-of-locals and before
start-of-code,

like that.

flush_scheduled_work() flushes all work items.  It is preferable to use
flush_work() to flush a single item.

Does it actually _need_ the GFP_DMA?

It is wrong (or at least, contradictory) to combine GFP_KERNEL and
GFP_DMA together in this manner.  Use one or the other.
