wcn3990 requires a power pulse to turn ON/OFF along with
regulators. Sometimes we are observing the power pulses are sent
out with some time delay, due to queuing these commands. This is
causing synchronization issues with chip, which intern delay the
chip setup or may end up with communication issues.

Changes in v6:
 * added serdev_device_write_flush() in qca_send_power_pulse
   instead during the power off pulse.

Changes in v5:
 * added serdev_device_write_flush() in qca_power_off().

nit: why clutter the code flow by putting the log statement in the
middle of code that is actually doing something with the serial
interface?

In case you respin anyway I suggest to structure it like this:

  bt_dev_dbg(hu->hdev, "sending power pulse %02x to SoC", cmd);

  hci_uart_set_flow_control(hu, true);
  serdev_device_write_flush(hu->serdev);
  ret = serdev_device_write_buf(hu->serdev, &cmd, sizeof(cmd));


 	hci_uart_set_flow_control(hu, true);
+	ret = serdev_device_write_buf(hu->serdev, &cmd, sizeof(cmd));
+	if (ret < 0) {
+		bt_dev_err(hu->hdev, "failed to send power pulse %02x to SoC",

nit: especially on 'embedded' devices 'SoC' is typically associated
with the CPU running Linux, you might want to change it to
'controller'.


[Bala]: will update.

 	/* Wait for 100 uS for SoC to settle down */
 	usleep_range(100, 200);

I said earlier the delay here should be enough to ensure that the byte
gets transferred from a hardware buffer/FIFO to the controller,
however that didn't take into account that the power pulses are sent
with a baudrate of 2400. That translates to ~240 bytes/s, hence a
delay of 5 ms is needed to be on the safe side.


[Bala]: sure will update the delay of 5 ms.

In case you change the delay please also update the comment to make
clear this is not only time for the BT controller to settle, but also
to guarantee that the command was actually sent to the controller.


[Bala]: will update the comment.

So far it seems no problems have been observed, though this could be
thanks to the 100 ms delay in qca_wcn3990_init().

Cheers

Matthias
