plfxlc_mac_release() asserts that mac->lock is held. This assertion is
incorrect, because even if it was possible, it would not be the valid
behaviour. The function is used when probe fails or after the device is
disconnected. In both cases mac->lock can not be held as the driver is
not working with the device at the moment. All functions that use mac->lock
unlock it just after it was held. There is also no need to hold mac->lock
for plfxlc_mac_release() itself, as mac data is not affected, except for
mac->flags, which is modified atomically.

This bug leads to the following warning:
