Well, these should really be done in an atomic operation, so I don't
really consider either sequence to be better than the reverse order.

This depends on the driver capabilities. You can either depend on the
remain-on-channel operations or use the wait_time to offload this to the
driver/firmware. In the offload case, the wait_time parameter is the
time that the device needs to wait for the response.
