Yep.. will fix this in next version.

cur seems to be redundant TBH, the only difference between cur and sl is 
that the slim_slicesize() can give slice size to program for any lengths 
between 1-16 bytes. However the slim_slicecodefromsize() can only 
handle 1,2,3,4, 6,8,12,16 byte sizes.

So we can delete slim_slicecodefromsize() call and function together.
looks like it was a leftover from downstream.

No Idea!! :-) it is supposed to return slice size as per number of bytes.

Yep, device should send a reply value with the old value with matching tid.
