They use the same format, the vendor drivers just add BIT(7)
in rtl8192c_FillH2CCmd function:

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8192cu/blob/52b20929a8f68d5fbae38e6e253f75b713258487/hal/rtl8192c_cmd.c#L114

Please ignore this patch. I made a mistake: the order of the
bytes in the struct is weird, but it is correct for rtl8xxxu.
rtl8xxxu_gen1_h2c_cmd is aware of the changed order.
