I don't know how common these are and how
intelligible these acronyms are to knowledgeable
developer/users, but maybe it'd be better to
spell out what these are instead of having to
look up what the acronyms stand for

	CIS - Clear Initial State
	SP - Select Package
	etc...

Maybe copy the descriptions from the ncsi-pkt.h file

#define NCSI_PKT_CMD_CIS	0x00 /* Clear Initial State              */

#define NCSI_PKT_CMD_SL		0x09 /* Set Link                         */
