Here's where the driver calls that function:
$ git grep wlancmds drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_cmd.c:static struct cmd_hdl wlancmds[] = {
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_cmd.c: if (pcmd->cmdcode < ARRAY_SIZE(wlancmds)) {
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_cmd.c: cmd_hdl = wlancmds[pcmd->cmdcode].h2cfuns;
