* Notes: Asynchronous functions have a timeout parameter. It is the driver
* responsibility to call the digital stack back through the
* nfc_digital_cmd_complete_t callback when no RF respsonse has been
* received within the specified time (in milliseconds). In that case the
* driver must set the resp sk_buff to ERR_PTR(-ETIMEDOUT).
* Since the digital stack serializes commands to be sent, it's mandatory
* for the driver to handle the timeout correctly. Otherwise the stack
* would not be able to send new commands, waiting for the reply of the
* current one.
