CTL_GET_FAN_CNCT can still be handled with that helper function since the response is 6 bytes, not the command itself. >>> + ret = send_usb_cmd(ccp); >>> + >> >> This makes me wonder if reading a response is always necessary. >> If not, it might make sense to add a flag to the function indicating >> that no response is needed, and skip the read part there.
