People use the "_t" to try to denote a "typedef".  When converting to
just a structure, there is no need to keep the _t anymore at all, so
this should just be "struct cmpk_txfb".

Or just drop the typedef and use the name for the struct they had here
already, "struct tag_cmd_pkt_tx_feedback", that also would work.

Same for all of the other patches in this series.
