I am not sure to understand this. Is the code to have asynchronous command gone
or it is just not used anymore? In the code here you remove waiting for the
firmware init to be complete, but from the patch is not clear why this is not
needed anymore.  Maybe a specific commit you can reference in which such
support was removed?
