[Bala]: this function is used to send single byte vendor commands.
like
power on and off pulse.
and all single byte vendor commands require an flow control
off and
on.
so might be function name change is required.
instead of qca_send_vendor_cmd(). i want to change function
name to
qca_send_pulse() as this will be generic.
'pulse' covers power on/off pulses, is it also applicable to other
single byte commands? How are these commands named in the QCA
documentation?
[Bala]: in QCA wcn3990 for these two bytes we will turn off the flow
control while sending command and turn on back once it is enabled.
in documentation it was mentioned as power on and power off
pulse.
for all other single bytes we need flow control enable.
In any case the comment about 'vendor power on and off pulse' should
be updated to refer to 'vendor commands'/'pulses' or whatever
terminology we decide to use.
[Bala]: will update the the function name.

[Bala] : flow control off/on is needed for power on and off pulses
along
with
command to set baudrate.. this is common across all the
present
chips and chips which are in development stages.
might be function name is confusing will update the function
name.
The current name *might* be ok, depending on if we come up with
something better. If the QCA docs refer to them as 'vendor commands'
and there are no other multi-byte 'vendor commands' I'm fine with it.
Is the settling down of 100us specific to the power on/off pulses or
also applicable to other commands?
[Bala]: 100 us is specific to power on and off pulses.
Thanks
Matthias
