Either this is leftover from when you did things in ->probe or ->open or this is some thing we might better fix properly in the core instead of papering over it. Can you recheck if this is really needed.

we need to have a __hci_raw_sync_ev that uses the hdev->raw_q and waits for the specified event to come back. I never realized that you are missing the cmd status or cmd complete. So this is similar to the original CSR vendor commands which had the same behavior.

I have the feeling that you hdev->cmd_cnt increment is just hiding the problem here. If you really think that it is not chains any side effects we can merge the driver with a big warning and fix this up. However the clean way would be for you to create a patch that introduces __hci_raw_sync_ev as describe above.
