[ofw] RE: Release IBA resources in DISPATCH_LEVEL ?

[Tzachi Dar]

If the user has to wait until the task is completed then we are in a big
trouble in any case.

Releasing this resources means going to the command interface and this
means waiting for the HW in DPC level. This breaks the entire module,
and I hope that this is not how things are.

Thanks
