I see that in_dev_get()/in_dev_put() are being used by some drivers.
won't addition of a wakelock be unnecessary for them?
Will adding two independent functions per in_dev to hold and release
wakelock be sufficient ?

I am not sure if ARP will be effected.

responses should be affected. For example IGMP and MLD must send reports
for the router to fwd mcast packets.
In ARP for instance, only moving between states will be delayed. Is there
something that I am missing ?

Thanks, I'll fix them in the next patch.
