The driver allocates a cmd_buf array in addition to the desc_buf array. This array stores an ice_sq_cd command details structure for each entry in the control queue ring. The contents of the structure are copied from the value passed in via ice_sq_send_cmd, and include only a pointer to storage for the write back descriptor contents. Originally this array was intended to support asynchronous completion including features such as a callback function. This support was never implemented. All that exists today is needless copying and resetting of a cmd_buf array that is otherwise functionally unused. Since we do not plan to implement asynchronous completions, drop this unnecessary memory and logic. This saves memory for each control queue, and avoids the pointless copying and memset.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
