I think, the above checks for each CMD53 might add up to the processing
time of this function. These checks can be avoided, if we add new
function similar to 'wilc_sdio_cmd53' which can be called when the local
variables are used. Though we have to perform the memcpy operation which
is anyway required to handle this scenario for small size data.

Mostly, either the static global data or dynamically allocated buffer is
used with cmd53 except wilc_sdio_write_reg, wilc_sdio_read_reg
wilc_wlan_handle_txq functions.

I have created a patch using the above approach which can fix this issue
and will have no or minimal impact on existing functionality. The same
is copied below:
