Yeah, I was thinking about that. Not sure it is correct though. This is
single purpose command. It really does not change "an attribute" as the
"_SET" commands are usually doing. Consider extension of "_SET" by other
attributes. Then it looks wrong.

It is, need to avoid recursice locking

Yeah, however, there, the port_index is passed down to the driver, not
the actual object pointer. That's why it can be done like that.

Hardware flow in case of Spectrum is async too.

The driver is responsible to either call provision_set/provision_clear
helper. Note the async nature of this op.
