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.

serdev_device_wait_until_sent() might only guarantee that the UART
circular buffer is empty (see
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v4.19/source/drivers/tty/tty_ioctl.c#L225),
not that the data has actually sent (e.g. it might be sitting in
the UART FIFO). However with this:

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

we should probably be fine, unless there's tons of data in the
FIFO.

You currently call serdev_device_write_flush() in
qca_power_shutdown(), I wonder if it would make sense to call it in
qca_send_power_pulse(), regardless of whether it's an on or off
pulse. In any case we don't care if the chip receives any 'pending'
data when we switch it on or off, right?

Cheers

[Bala]: during sending the ON pulse we will not have any data in the
         UART circular buffer as this is the first command to send and we 
are sending it as soon as we open the port.
         so i taught why should be flush the circular as it is already 
empty.

[Bala]: during on we freshly open port and i see that flush() called 
while port opening.

I would argue that the serdev_device_write_flush() call in
qca_power_shutdown() is related with/needed for sending the power off
pulse, hence it should be part of qca_send_power_pulse(), unless it
adds a significant overhead and we really want to call it only in the
shutdown case.

Flushing the buffer should be fairly lightweight and power pulses are
only sent when the device is switched on or off, so the overhead
should be negligible. You *could* restrict the flush to the power off
pulse, assuming that the driver always re-opens the port in
qca_wcn3990_init() (tests with this patch set suggest this might not
be needed) and that serdev_device_open() flushes the buffer (which
seems a sane assumption). Yet given the minimal overhead I'd suggest
to not make assumptions about what happened previously in other code
and avoid the clutter of a condition that doesn't add much value.

Again, do you really want to wait indefinitely here?

For serial core, uart_wait_until_sent() makes sure also the UART FIFO is
empty, although it may time out when using flow control (as then the
FIFO may never empty, and flow control appears to be enabled here).

[Bala]: these commands are mandatory to turn ON or OFF the chip.
         so blocking to the max time is required.
         these commands are sent during the BT chip ON & OFF.
         in the latest series, i have flushed the uart before sending 
this commands
         so the uart FIFO(as just opened the port before calling this 
function) or the circular
         buffer will be empty and also i am disabling the flow control 
too.

[Bala]: Pls refer the latest patch series 
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10744435/
        where i am flushing the circular buffer before calling the 
qca_send_power_pulse().
        this how the flow

        1. open serial port (gurantess that UART FIFO is empty)
        2. flush the circular buffer
        3. disable the flow control.
        4. send the command byte.
        5. wait for the circular buffer is empty.

        the above is one time process,

The commands may be mandatory for switching the chip on or off, but
what is better if there is a problem with sending them (e.g. a buggy
UART driver):

1. wait a reasonable time, report an error
2. wait forever

?

If the single byte command couldn't be sent after a few milliseconds,
it likely never will, waiting forever doesn't fix that. An error
report at least provides some information about the problem and the
driver is in a not-hanging state.

[Bala]: will update this with a bound TIMEOUT value. But 
wait_until_sent() is void return
         type how could we know that the data is sent out on the lines.

Good point, I didn't check and expected it to return an error. If you
feel really motivated and have maintainer support you could possibly
change the API, however it seems this would be a somewhat larger
change.

I guess the next best thing to do is to proceed as if all data was
sent and if there was a problem it will likely manifest through
another error (especially for the ON pulse), which still seems better
than a hanging driver.

to the lines anyways
         we will get an version command timeouts errors.
