 *      Provides and example implementation on how to call unifi_bh(), which
 *      is part of the HIP core API.
 *
 *      It processes the events generated by unifi_run_bh() to serialise calls
 *      to unifi_bh(). It also demonstrates how the timeout parameter passed in
 *      and returned from unifi_bh() needs to be handled.
 *
 *  Arguments:

 *  Returns:

 *
 *  Notes:
 *      When the bottom half of the driver needs to process signals, events,
 *      or simply the host status (i.e sleep mode), it invokes unifi_run_bh().
 *      Since we need all SDIO transaction to be in a single thread, the
