To clarify, I'd be OK with either of these (slight preference towards
#2, but not a strong one):

1. Your current code and a REALLY OBVIOUS comment in
claim_tcs_for_req() saying that we'd better not return any error codes
other than -EBUSY (because we'll just blindly retry on all of them).

- or -

2. Handling error codes other than -EBUSY, like this:

wait_event_lock_irq(drv->tcs_wait,
                    (tcs_id = claim_tcs_for_req(drv, tcs, msg)) != -EBUSY,
                    drv->lock);
if (tcs_id < 0)
  goto unlock;
