Hi Jia - cqp_request->waiting is always initialized. If cqp_request object is 
allocated using kzalloc, it is initialized to 0. For those cqp_request object 
that are
retrieved from the cqp list 'cqp->cqp_avail_reqs', the waiting flag is set to 
false
when it is put back on the list via i40iw_free_cqp_request. So there should be 
no issue
here.
