Also the "vendor code may inadvertently enable the queue"
is some vague indication of a race? I have no idea what "vendor code"
means here, this "library" has one user. If there is a race please fix
it. If there's not - please don't add confusing comments.  

It is not a race. If vendor's code (or even from command line) marks
the interface "down" followed by "up", queue may be re-enabled.

Due to a link event? That's a run of the mill situation in drivers
and has to be handled by correctly ordering the events.
I think you shut down the IRQ first, so that's good, not sure if there's
anything else to worry about

This use case was raised by AI review during the previous submission,
which is a valid question. So I thought I should capture this in the
comment.

The comment is confusing.
