If a request times out the response might arrive right after the request
is failed. This response is pushed to the kfifo and next request will
read it instead. Since it most likely will not pass our validation
checks in parse_header() the next request will fail as well, and
response to that request will be pushed to the kfifo, ad infinitum.

We end up in a situation where all requests fail and no devices can be
added anymore until the driver is unloaded and reloaded again.

To overcome this, rework the control channel so that we will have a
queue of outstanding requests. Each request will be handled in turn and
the response is validated against what is expected. Unexpected packets
(for example responses for requests that have been timed out) are
dropped. This model is copied from Greybus implementation with small

In addition the configuration packets support sequence number whic...
