Yes, this patch is correct. I did that also for the removal the mib lock
which makes the callbacks for getting some mib values unnecessary. It
depends on context if we need to hold a lock or not (depends on if
wpan interface is up). See patch [0].

And the lowpan rx/tx functionality can't run when the wpan interface is
down.


Why I am waiting with this patch?

I thought about to send [1] to bluetooth/stable, but now I think more
it's not necessary to support some ioctl which should be deprecated and
I think that's whats Marcel also told me that I don't need to care about
this little warning and a missed rtnl lock.
