Problem - Standard Tx packets are not going out and found broken
 due to cleanup malfunctioning whereever below mentioned macro is
 used.

RootCause - Here inside Macro 'ASSIGN_UNLESS_EQUAL(var, val)'
 assignment to 'var' argument passed is always failing as assignment
 done using 'var_' having local scope only.
