Hmm, any chance we could just have another function
(lbs_cmd_mac_control_sync?) that does it sync? That's called from a
bunch of places and we were trying to make most of the commands done
from major flows async to reduce driver blocking and bad stalls when the
firmware times out commands. It shouldn't be too hard to have both
sync/async calls for it.
