[Bala]: can you share me the command sent and event recevied.
  I see that we receive a command complete event for the baud rate change 
command.

command sent: 01 48 fc 01 11
vendor specific event: 04 ff 02 92 01
command complete event: 04 0e 04 01 00 00 00.

[Bala]: fw download approach is different where we use __hci_cmd_sync() 
where as here we use hci_uart_tx_wakeup()
         which directly calls the hci_uart_write_work(). so even we send 
an valid opcode or not for baudrate change will bot matter.

[Bala]: will take this forward to the SoC teams.
