While testing this driver with DEBUG_LOCKDEP and DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled did not produce any traces, it would be more prudent in the case of tx_clean_lock to use spin_[un]lock_bh, since this lock is manipulated in both the process and softirq contexts.
This patch was tested for functionality and regressions with netperf and DEBUG_LOCKDEP and DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled.
