No commit message.

Why is do you change -2 to both -EBUSY and -ENOBUFS? In the original
code, the -1 and -2 return meant something custom and they weren't
kernel error codes:

* Return:
*0 Success
*-1 Hardware resource(TX FIFO) not ready
*-2 Software resource(xmitbuf) not ready

Now the documentation makes no sense.
