I am looking into this now. If I see this correctly this involves:
- adding cec_post_event(cla_int->adap, CEC_EVENT_READY); to
cec_config_thread_func
- adding O_NONBLOCK check in CEC_S_ADAP_LOG_ADDRS 
Right?

A sequence number is a good solution, I believe. To recap:
- a sequence number should be set by the framework and returned in the
CEC_TRANSMIT ioctl
- a new event should be added CEC_EVENT_TX_DONE and it should be posted on
each transmission
  finish 
- event struct has to include a sequence field as well
Is this ok?
