Currently, CPC doesn't send messages on its own, it only prepends its header to outgoing messages. This can lead to messages not being acknowledged, for instance in the case of an SVC Ping
Host Device
SVC Ping (seq=X, ack=Y) SVC Ping Reply (seq=Y, ack=X+1)
The "Ping Reply" is never acknowledged at the CPC level, which can lead to retransmissions, or worst the device might think the link is broken and attempt to recover.
To prevent that scenario, an ack mechanism is implemented in the most straightforward manner: send an ACK to all incoming messages. Here, two flags need to be added: - First, a flag is needed to differentiate between pure CPC frames, that are only meaningful at the CPC level, and regular Greybus operations. This flag is called "CONTROL". Currently there is only one type of control frame, the standalone ack. Control messages have the same format as Greybus operations. - Second, ack themselves should not be acked, so to determine if a message should be acked or not, a REQUEST_ACK flag is added.
