I still don't get why I should kill the driver tasklet in terminate_all.

The tasklet is common to all the channels, if you kill it, you'll
prevent it from scheduling while other channels might have had a need
for it to actually run.

About the commits themselves, I guess you talk about 9068b032 and
ccc7aad0. Both these commits only fix the remove path, not the
terminate_all one, and both these drivers are not doing anything
related to the tasklet in terminate_all.

Ok, I will.

Thanks,
