In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: disable napi on driver removal
A warning on driver removal started occurring after commit 9dd05df8403b
("net: warn if NAPI instance wasn't shut down"). Disable tx napi before
deleting it in mt76_dma_cleanup().
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 18828 at net/core/dev.c:7288 __netif_napi_del_locked+0xf0/0x100

Tested with mt7921e but the same pattern can be actually applied to other
mt76 drivers calling mt76_dma_cleanup() during removal. Tx napi is enabled
in their *_dma_init() functions and only toggled off and on again inside
their suspend/resume/reset paths. So it should be okay to disable tx
napi in such a generic way.
