When you don't have proper OEM handler for your MFR_ID, you'll get this as
example:
[   39.073873] ftgmac100 1e660000.ethernet eth1: Received unrecognized OEM
packet with MFR-ID (0x157)
[   39.082974] ftgmac100 1e660000.ethernet eth1: NCSI: Handler for packet type
0xd0 returned -2

It is not the response, it's provides same way of handling as for broadcom and
mellanox manufacturers.

Yes, I can. As example, ncsi_oem_smaf_mlx doesn't check the response, for me
it's like unidirectional commands, same for this one.

Thanks.
