When the device is disconnected we get the following messages showing
failed operations:

The reason is that although the device is detached, normal stop and
unbind operations are commanded from the driver. These operations are
not necessary in this situation, so avoid these logs when the device is
detached if the result of the operation is -ENODEV and if the new flag
informing about the disconnecting status is enabled.

V1 -> V2:
- Follow the suggestions from Alan Stern and Oliver Neukum to check the
result of the operations (-ENODEV) and not the internal state of the USB 
layer (USB_STATE_NOTATTACHED).
V2 -> V3
- Add cc: stable line in the signed-off-by area.
V3 -> V4
- Follow the suggestions from Oliver Neukum to use only one flag when
disconnecting and include barriers to avoid memory ordering issues.

The __ax88179_read_cmd() and __ax88179_write_cmd() routines are 
asynchronous with respect to ax88179_disconnect(), right?  Or at least, 
they are if they run as a result of the user closing the network 
interface.  Otherwise there wouldn't be any memory ordering issues.

But the memory barriers you added are not the proper solution.  What you 
need here is _synchronization_, not _ordering_.  As it is, the memory 
barriers you have added don't do anything; they shouldn't be in the 
patch.

If you would like a more in-depth explanation, let me know.

Yes, I think so, they could be asynchronous regarding ax88179_disconnect.

Ok, thank you for the helpful clarification, let me check it better,
I understood it in a wrong way.

Thank you for your help, I will try first, I really appreciate this.
