In the current implementation, we do not want to start a new SSCH
command before the last one ends.

Currently the user needs to poll on the -EBUSY error to
wait before sending a new request.

Let's be friendly with global warming and let the user sleep
until he may send a new request.

Let's make the caller wait until the last SSCH ends.

What prevents a state change between checking the state and before
private->io_completion is set? If that happens you would end with an
endless wait.

Similarly, you would have memory corruption if the task would be
interrupted and if the function would be left, ending up with a stale
private->io_completion completion pointer.
The complete(private->io_completion) call will then write to a memory
location that might already be reused.

Just my 0.02 after having a very very short look ;)

Right, completely false, I should pay a little more (at least) attention.

Thanks to have had a very very short (but sharp)look.
