Hi Enric,

Thanks for taking a look at the patch. Please see my response inline:

I think it is doable. From looking at the code I felt the factors we
need to be careful about are:
- The function cros_ec_motion_send_host_cmd() is called from a few
other files, each of which set up the struct cros_ec_command
differently (reference:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/ident/cros_ec_motion_send_host_cmd)
- It is not clear to me how readability will be affected by making the
change to cros_ec_cmd().

Due to the above two factors, but primarily because I wanted to avoid
making such an involved large change in this 17 patch series, I
reasoned it would be better to make the transition to cros_ec_cmd()
for these files in a separate patch/series.
My plan after this patch series is to work on this driver(perhaps we
can eliminate cros_ec_motion_send_host_cmd() itself?), and then remove
cros_ec_cmd_xfer() usage.

WDYT?

Best regards,
