It took a bit to figure out what you meant here -- I guess you're
referring to mwifiex_set_mac_address()? It could help to document what
you mean.
I'm also a bit torn; this command API ostensibly has a (unused so far,
for this command) HostCmd_ACT_GEN_GET mode, in which case this *is*
important.
If anything, I might consider dropping some of the handling in
mwifiex_set_mac_address(), because it seems to presume (and then has to
undo for failure) behavior of the underlying command.
