Thanks Adrian. Actually, DCMD command parameters include opcode, timing, and response type where opcode and response type stays same.
So I only see need for hosts to choose cmd timing to control if hardware should wait for busy time or not basically to send command during busy or idle time.

Will add cqhci_host_ops interface to allow host driver to choose cmd timing and will send along with the other tuning related feedback fixes of this series.
