Apparently, the slcan's tx_work is freed while being scheduled. While slcan_netdev_close() (netdev side) calls flush_work(&sl->tx_work), slcan_close() (tty side) does not. So when the netdev is never set UP, but the tty is stuffed with bytes and forced to wakeup write, the work is scheduled, but never flushed.
So add an additional flush_work() to slcan_close() to be sure the work is flushed under all circumstances.
The Fixes commit below moved flush_work() from slcan_close() to slcan_netdev_close(). What was the rationale behind it? Maybe we can drop the one in slcan_netdev_close()?
I see the same pattern in can327. So it perhaps needs the very same fix.
