Hi,

Yeah mostly. But we also need to ensure things do get powered down
properly after ifconfig wlan0 down :) IMO after ifconfig wlan0 down
returns, there should be no waiting needed.

That might help for some cases, but the problem of how to ensure the
card is powered down after ifconfig wlan0 down returns still exists.

Hmm I do have a mostly done wlcore pwrseq driver here somewhere that
I have not had a chance to finish again. But that's not going to work
for a fix and needs updating of the related dts files too.

Regards,

Tony
