Makes sense, when looking first at this I forgot the flow control
handling was only added for wcn3990.

Thanks for the information!

If there are more mandatory commands it could be an option to have a
wrapper for them or do the flow control handling in
qca_send_vendor_cmd() to avoid cluttering the main code path.

Just an idea, no need to do this now.
