Yes, I totally agree with you, Will rework this part as suggested.

Once I move this to a command code then make this a separate function.

Make sense, will do it in next version.

Yes, the driver just uses dma_buf, it looks like leftover from downstream!

Sure, Will recheck all the structures before sending next version!
