how hard is to just grab the data sheet and figure out the appropriate time to wait? I will be all documented and then reference the documentation.
I really dislike this "add a sleep here and sleep there". It might just work for now. The next hardware generation comes around or if placed on a different board just behaves a little bit different. And at some point we are at 10 seconds sleep and you start complaining why the controller initialization takes so long. Stop guessing and reference the data sheet.

let me explain more for this patch:
a BT enable failure issue is reported for WCN6855 2.1 chip, the root
cause located is that HCI command is sent before controller reset is
Done.
100ms delay is suggested by firmware team and it is a appropriate
interval
based on verification. so these info is not available from data sheet
currently.

you are right.
i will only restrict that delay to WCN6855 2.1 chip this issue is
reported for.
