I know it's nit-picking but can you give it a better name while you're
there.

I was thinking it should be called "send" or something, but it actually
synchronously sends and waits for a request.

So perhaps just nx842_exec(), for "execute a request", and then you can
have nx842_exec_icswx() and nx842_exec_vas().

cheers
