Hopefully the broadcom devs will chime in, but it doesn't look like we get
a response buffer. I think we just need to move the:

dma_free_coherent(&ctrl->pdev->dev, nonemb_cmd->size,
nonemb_cmd->va, nonemb_cmd->dma);

to a helper and have the callers free the cmd.

Oh yeah, I guess we haven't been able to hit this bug, because
beiscsi_if_set_ip/beiscsi_if_clr_ip hasn't been run since 2013.
This patch
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-scsi/patch/20210701002559.89533-1-michael.christie@oracle.com/
allows us to be able to set the IP and hit those code paths.
