In my review of v1 all those months ago, the way we left things was
that I disagreed with this part of the patch, and I still do. I think
you should leave things the way they were in tcs_tx_done(). Copying
my un-responded-to comments from v1 here for you:

In your patch in __tcs_buffer_write(), if "wait_for_compl" is set then
"CMD_MSGID_RESP_REQ" will be added for every message in the request,
right? That's because you have this bit of code:

/* Convert all commands to RR when the request has wait_for_compl set */
cmd_msgid |= msg->wait_for_compl ? CMD_MSGID_RESP_REQ : 0;

That means that if _either_ "cmd->wait" or "req->wait_for_compl" is
set then you expect the "sts" to have "CMD_STATUS_COMPL", right?
That's exactly the code that used to be there.

Said another way, if "req->wait_for_compl" was set then it's an error
if any of our commands are missing the "CMD_STATUS_COMPL" bit, right?

In my response to v1 I suggested that a comment would be nice here.
Something akin to:

Setting "wait" here only makes sense in the batch case for active-only
transfers.

This is because:
* rpmh_write_async() - There's no callback and rpmh_write_async()
doesn't set the "completion" to anything so there's nobody that cares
at all

* DEFINE_RPMH_MSG_ONSTACK - always sets wait_for_compl.

Addressed both comments and sent v3.

Thanks,
Maulik
