Hi Balakrishna,
[Bala]: thanks for reviewing the change.Latest qualcomm chips are not sending an command complete event forhave you actually considered using __hci_cmd_send in that case. It is
every firmware packet sent to chip. They only respond with a vendor
specific event for the last firmware packet. This optimization will
decrease the BT ON time. Due to this we are seeing a timeout error
message logs on the console during firmware download. Now we are
injecting a command complete event once we receive an vendor specific
event for the last RAM firmware packet.

allowed for vendor OGF to use that command. I see you actually do use
it and now I am failing to understand what this is for.
__hci_cmd_send() can be used only to send the command to the chip. it will not wait for the response for the command sent.
as you know that every vendor command sent to chip will respond with vendor specific event and command complete event.
but in our case chip will only respond with vendor specific event only. so we are injecting command complete event.
and __hci_cmd_sync_ev is also not working for you? However since you
are not waiting for the vendor event anyway and just injecting
cmd_complete, I wonder whatâs the difference in just using
__hci_cmd_send and not bothering to wait or inject at all. I am
failing to see where this injection makes a difference.
For me it is a big difference if we are injecting one event like in
the case of Intel compared to injecting one for every command. It will
show a wrong picture in btmon and that is a bad idea.

[Bala]: here is the use case, when ever we download the fw packets
i.e. RAM image, for every command sent(i.e. fw packet) from
the host chip will respond with an vendor specific event and command
complete event.
the above is taking more time to setup the BT device. then we came up
with solution where we enable flags in fw file (i.e. RAM image header)
whether to wait for event to be received or sent the total packets and
wait for the events for the last packet.
So currently we are handling both the cases in the code. i.e wait for
event for all packet or wait for an event for the last packet.
but in the second case i.e. wait for event for the last packet sent,
we are only receiving an vendor specific event from chip which holds
the status of fw download.
so as __hci_cmd_sync_ev() requires an command complete event. so we
are injecting it after the vendor specific event received for the last
packet.
This helps to overcome 0xfc00 timeout error logging on console.
