Currently, WLAN chip is powered once during driver probe and is kept

suspend, chip will not be put into low power mode when the system is
suspended resulting in higher battery drain.
Send QMI MODE OFF command to firmware during WiFi OFF to put device
into low power mode.

This series looked potentially promising to me for a problem that I'm
seeing on a notebook failing to sleep where WLAN_WAKE is asserted on
the WCN6855 on resume even though WoW wasn't set at all. This is
problematic as it causes a spurious wake while SUT is reading from
the EC since two IRQs are now active and the kernel wakes from that.
Removing the WCN6855 from the system it doesn't happen.
I figured I'd give it a spin to see if it improved things.
I applied the series on top of 5.19-rc7 and it applied cleanly but I
get timeouts on wlan card init (and of course suspend fails now too).
Here's the mhi/ath11k_pci snippets:

And so - on.
Is it functionally dependent on other patches in linux-next or
another tree I won't see in 5.19?
I had a try with linux-next and your series but I reproduce the same
failure I described above.

Sorry for late reply and thanks for reporting the bug.
After several rounds of discussions with the concerned teams on the
failure that you have reported, we have root caused the issue.
Thanks for getting back to me and confirming that.
The changes that I have posted will not work on other targets like
WCN6855 as is. It requires additional changes and therefore lots of
testing.
Well glad I reported it and saved you a regression!
For now, I have posted a V2 enabling the "low power mode" design only on
WCN6750. I have started working on enabling the logic for other chipsets
also. Once the changes are well tested, I'll post a separate patch to
enable it on WCN6855. It might take a little more time.
Will low power mode on WCN6855 also require F/W changes, or you expect
that it will be able to be done entirely in the kernel driver?
I am eager to see if low power mode can fix my existing mentioned issue.
If it can you may CC me when they go out and I'm happy to test these
patches too when you have them ready.
