Ahh, but didn't Kyosti or Greg delete all the command functions from all
the chip driver modules?
I think that all the drivers had "command" functions that said "None at
this time", but removing that code was one of the things I had to do to
make my 2.7.0 driver "cvs"... So I don't think any of drivers even have
a command function any more.
Which is not an argument for removing the function to access them, but
it seems odd that it would be an inline function in that case...
:v)
