Calling those blocking RT services over a non-RT RTDM handler is a
strong indication that you are doing something fundamentally wrong.
(BTW, for consistency reasons, you shouldn't use native API services in
RTDM drivers. Technically, this can be OK, but it is at least very unclean.)

RT resources are for RT threads in _primary_ mode. Why do you want to
pend on those resources while the threads are in secondary ("nrt") more?
