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.

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.

this is even more hackish since the __hci_cmd_sync_ev command is really meant to get a cmd status first before waiting for that event.

Are all Mediatek vendor commands this way? Or just the ones for loading the firmware? So only the WMT ones?
