Ok.

I needed the resp object to get the resp->msg and send_tcs_response()
could happen only after we have reclaimed the TCS.
I removed the response object based on comments from Bjorn, but the idea
would still need to be the same.

There is no recoverable situtation if we are unable to send RPMH
requests. I can timeout here, but then most drivers have no way to
recover from that. The only reason why we would timeout is when the
TCSes are otherwise engaged and the requests that were hung. You cannot
clear the TCSes to continue the system.

I wasn't talking about these enums. The driver uses the SLEEP_TCS,
WAKE_TCS etc to probe the TCS types.
