RE: [PATCH] net/ncsi: add control packet payload to NC-SI commands from netlink

[Justin.Lee1]

Hi Ben,

I have similar fix locally with different approach as the command handler may have some expectation for those byes.
We can use NCSI_PKT_CMD_OEM handler as it only copies data based on the payload length.

                        else
