This uses a static lbs_cmd_async_callback function, which is a noop. Just setting the callback argument to __lbs_cmd_async() to NULL won't work, because then the cmdnode wouldn't be released. This also makes __lbs_cmd_async() a static method, which is now only used by lbs_cmd() and lbs_cmd_async(). Signed-off-by: Holger Schurig <hs4233@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- This patch is needed to fix the CMD_MAC_CONTROL bug correcly. Patch for this follows in the next mail.
