> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-next 6/7] ice: remove unnecessary 
> control queue cmd_buf arrays
>
> The driver allocates a cmd_buf array in addition to the desc_buf array.
> This array stores an ice_sq_cd command details structure for each entry in 
> the control queue ring.
>
> The contents of the structure are copied from the value passed in via 
> ice_sq_send_cmd, and include only a pointer to storage for the write back 
> descriptor contents.
>
> Originally this array was intended to support asynchronous completion 
> including features such as a callback function. This support was never 
> implemented. All that exists today is needless copying and resetting of a 
> cmd_buf array that is otherwise functionally unused.
>
> Since we do not plan to implement asynchronous completions, drop this 
> unnecessary memory and logic. This saves memory for each control queue, and 
> avoids the pointless copying and memset.
