Originally I was trying to get away from magical functions that used
variables of the internal private structure to change state, ie moving
most of the actual data for the firmware commands to the function
argument list instead of accessing priv->xxxx internally.  The idea
there was that it would be easier to follow the code flow through the
driver if you knew that these functions weren't touching all sorts of
internal variables.  Any chance we can preserve that?  Thoughts?  That
was my intent at least but it's not set in stone.
