 In testing we've seen that sometimes the command queue gets full. This
 shouldn't happen -- we set a timer to resubmit commands, and then reset
 the device completely, when commands don't complete. But for some reason
 it doesn't fire.

 We think it's a SCAN command because when we unload the module, we get a
 'SCAN failed' message as it's cancelled.

 Obviously there's an underlying firmware bug, but there's also a driver
 bug -- I don't understand why the timer isn't firing. Have added some
 debugging messages when the timer is armed and cancelled; would like to
 see debug output while this happens.
