Indeed, my commit message is inaccurate because I claimed the
acpm_pmic/dvfs_set_xfer() were identical.

There's no change in functionality: in the original
`acpm_pmic_set_xfer()`, the RX parameters were unconditionally assigned
(`xfer->rxd = cmd;` and `xfer->rxcnt = cmdlen;`). In this patch, all the
updated PMIC call sites now pass `true` for the `response` argument.
This ensures the unified helper takes the `if (response)` branch, which
performs those exact same assignments, preserving the original PMIC
behavior.

Will update the commit message. And revisit the other patches when
splitting the firmware patches into their own set.

Thanks,
