Driver starts iocpf timer prior bnad_ioceth_enable() call and this is unreasonable. This piece of code probably originates from Brocade/Qlogic out-of-box driver during initial import into upstream. This driver uses only one timer and queue to implement multiple timers and this timer is started at this place. The upstream driver uses multiple timers instead of this.
