The locking here is just the driver mutex lock. Whereas the test will 
only go bang if in atomic context (spinlock, IRQ, etc.). So it should be 
safe. If it isn't then the driver is already broken because the whole 
point of _wait_request() is that it will sleep! Although one could argue 
it is already broken because it quite likes sleeping with the mutex lock 
held.

I don't see what you mean. You can't take away all the timeout/sleeping 
related stuff, that is the whole point of the function! Everything that 
is inside the loop needs to be inside the loop. It is a hideously 
complicated wait function but as far as I can tell, it needs to be such. 
I recall at some point someone did a refactor to move the contents of 
the loop into a separate function but that
doesn't seem to have made it upstream. Or maybe it did and it has since 
been reverted?

The scheduler addition is now much simpler due to the re-implementing of 
the _is_tracked() function - see comments below.

It might have changed. The sleep might have been aborted due to 
something that means the scheduler is now busy and sleeping with the 
mutex lock held will cause a deadlock.

Yeah, the original need has actually changed somewhat since this was 
written. There is no longer any code which requires all three items 
together. So I've split it into two simpler functions which are more 
appropriate to their use cases.
