This uses the proper skb wrapper function sk_unlink in the function
brcmf_sdio_txpkt_postp to properly protect against concurrent users
accessing this skb_buff pointer or skb_buff_head pointer by locking
the spinlock as part of the passed skb_buff_head's definition due to
neither this function nor its callers locking this spinlock before
calling skb_unlink in order to avoid possible concurrent access on
either of these possibly shared structure pointers.

Not sure what issue you are trying to solve here. I am pretty sure I
used __skb_unlink here on purpose. To my knowledge there is no
concurrency issue so please elaborate. Your commit message seems a bit
hypothetical.
