It still wraps a bit weird, but it's good enough I suppose.

These two statements don't connect. _mwifiex_fw_dpc() only treats -1 as
a true error; -EINPROGRESS is treated as success, such that we continue
to wait for the command response. Now, we might hang here if that
response doesn't come, but that's a different problem...

I'm sure there are true bugs in here somewhere, but I've spent enough
time reading your incorrect reports and don't plan to spend more. (If
you're lucky, maybe you can pique my curiosity again, but don't count on
it.)
