I don't know what might be causing the lock problems. I'm more concerned with the NETDEV WATCHDOG timeouts. AFAIK, you are the only one still reporting this error. On my system, I get an occasional MAC suspend failure, sometimes followed by an BCM43xx_IRQ_XMIT_ERROR. From what I read in your post, the timeouts happen a lot more often than once every two days. Once we get those fixed, then we can concentrate on the locking.
