This is the slow path, we need to wait for each command to be processed
before continuing so let's introduce an helper which does the
transmission and blocks until it gets notified of its asynchronous
completion. This helper is going to be used when introducing scan
support.

No -EBUSY here, use ?-ENETDOWN?. You forgot rtnl_unlock() here.

Isn't it strange to return "Network is down" while we try to stop the
device but fail to do so because, actually, it is still being used?

I've blindly added those rtnl calls, I need to go through all of them
once again and ensure all the error path release the lock.

you are right. Maybe -EPERM, in a sense of whether the netdev state
allows it or not.

or maybe not, if this is the error the user gets by running iwpan. The
problem I have with -EBUSY is that it indicates some resource is being
used and will be solved at some time. Especially in a transmit
function e.g. framebuffer.

Actually you were right in your fist review, "!open_count" means
that the net iface is down, so returning -ENETDOWN is fine, I believe.
