The other place that calls r8712_getbbrfreg_cmdrsp_callback() is
read_rfreg_hdl(). For GEN_CMD_CODE(_Read_RFREG) we don't allocate
the ->rsp pointer so we can't kfree() it. The read_rfreg_hdl()
functions calls r8712_free_cmd_obj() which kfrees it. But fortunately
that is dead code.
This code is obviously staging code...
It would be fairly straight forward to get rid of the cmd_callback[]
array.
