This is problematic. The command is never retried, the error
is propagated to userspace.

Here the error is ignored, rx mode will be incorrect.
OTOH it looks like that's already the case.

How about this instead? Less code, more robust.
Warning: untested. If you do like this approach, Tested-by would be
appreciated.
