 *
 * This means that you need to call cfg80211_put_dev()
 * before being allowed to acquire &cfg80211_drv_mutex!
 *
 * This is necessary because we need to lock the global
 * mutex to get an item off the list safely, and then
 * we lock the drv mutex so it doesn't go away under us.
 *
 * We don't want to keep cfg80211_drv_mutex locked
 * for all the time in order to allow requests on
 * other interfaces to go through at the same time.
 *
 * The result of this can be a PTR_ERR and hence must
 * be checked with IS_ERR() for errors.
