+ * This function returns a pointer to the driver

+ * 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.
