I know Or Gerlitz mentioned sleeping and that's where this workqueue comes
from, but please I'd say to not add this if it's not necessary.

be_cmd_set_profile_config() runs with a BH spinlock held during it's
entirety, it will never sleep.

So please go back to what you were doing in the first revision of this
patch and submit the command synchronously rather than via a workqueue.

Thanks.
