I see, yes. However, since:
1) this sort of change is really outside the goal of this patch;
2) more change are needed for returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY (most not
   free the skb, probably should stop the queue/device, ...);
3) the driver is actively improving by someone just now (Sergio);
I prefer to let this change to Sergio.

I'll resend my (unimportant) change in a few weeks (if still needed).
