I will say that this part of the discussion seems to be addressing KK's
concerns.

@KK, is this accurate?

@Zijun, this description along with the info about the baud rate issues
should probably be part of the commit message. In these last two
messages, you have been much clearer about why this logic is needed and
correct. I wish you'd provided this description from the beginning when
KK asked for more information about the logic change.

From a practical standpoint, this change does seem to fix the warm boot
issue on my laptop. I do not think that it would fix the issue of
booting from an OS that puts the hardware into an unknown state.

I would not fully agree with this point. However, I would agree
completely with your proposal for moving forward (i.e. landing the change).

I would say that it is a problem if the kernel is not doing something to
setup the hardware correctly in any case where it is technically
possible. That is clearly a bug in the driver and Qualcomm should take
responsibility for fixing this poor design. Luiz is totally right here.

Having said that, I don't see that bug as a blocker for a logic fix that
creates an obvious (in my mind) UX improvement.

Here's my view of the situation. Right now, I experience a bug on every
single warm boot or module reload).

After Zijun's improvement commit, I might experience this problem iif
the right set of rare circumstances occurs (i.e. whenever I warm boot
from an OS that puts the hardware in an unknown state, like the current
mainline kernel to a kernel with the improvement).

In the world where the design problem of the init/shutdown sequences are
fixed AND this logic change is applied, I might never see this problem
again.

These seem like two different problems in my head. They don't seem
directly logically related, and the blast radii of the problems are very
different.

Here's the facts as I see them:
1. Logic improvement problem and init/shutdown sequence problem are 2
orthogonal problems
2. Logic improvement greatly users' chances of running into the bad UX
of the current code.
3. Init/shutdown isn't a trivial extension from the logic improvement.
4. Logic improvement has a pretty low cost to apply.
5. Init/shutdown sequence fix seems to be more fundamental and more
intrusive.

All of these together indicate to me that the logic improvement should
be landed. The init/shutdown issue should also be fixed, but a fix for
that issue should not block the logic improvement.

My basic reasoning for this is that a visible UX fix should not e
blocked for a change like the init/shutdown logic fix when the logic fix
will help users.

However, Qualcomm does need to feel some pressure to fix their driver
code. I would like to think that user's will not be held hostage for
putting pressure on a vendor in this case as the balance seems very
intrusive for users. It certainly feels intrusive as a user to have to
be very careful about how I reboot my laptop.
