The driver interaction with management firmware involves a union of all the data-members relating to the commands the driver prepares.
Current interface assumes the caller always passes such a union - but thats cumbersome as well as risky [chancing a stack corruption in case caller accidentally passes a smaller member instead of union].
Change implementation so that caller could pass a pointer to any of the members instead of the union.
