I took drivers/net/3c59x.c as an example

Is this going in the right direction?

The direction is right but a long and winding road... I guess it's for
somebody with drivers knowhow. It seems most of the corkscrew_close()
might be needed, including del_timer(). So, since this -1 case looks
quite unlikely, it might be reasonable to only limit the most obvious
damage with 'if (i != 0)' before [i - 1] write, like David advised
in lmc case?

Cheers,
Jarek P.
