HCI events can also be received from the host controller. They will be handled
and a translation will be forwarded to NFC Core as needed.
HCI uses 2 execution contexts:
- one if for executing commands : nfc_hci_msg_tx_work(). Only one command
- one for executing commands : nfc_hci_msg_tx_work(). Only one command
can be executing at any given moment.
- one if for dispatching received events and responses : nfc_hci_msg_rx_work()

commands, others can be written to using the standard HCI commands. The driver
can check the tag type and either do proprietary processing, or return 1 to ask
for standard processing.

SHDLC I(nformation) frames payload are HCP fragments. They are aggregated to
form complete HCI frames, which can be a response, command, or event.
HCI Responses are dispatched immediately from this context to unblock
waiting command execution. Reponse processing involves invoking the completion
waiting command execution. Response processing involves invoking the completion
callback that was provided by nfc_hci_msg_tx_work() when it sent the command.
The completion callback will then wake the syscall context.
