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.

so I looked into this a bit more. We actually added __hci_cmd_send for a Qualcomm firmware loader that was doing something similar. So instead of trying to add a yet another command to the core, I actually used that and implemented the wait for vendor event in the driver.

You will see my v9 on the mailing list. I also did a bunch of cosmetic minor cleanup and spelling correction. Please test this version. I also make __le16 dlen instead of dlen1 + dlen2 since I think that is what your hardware does.

If this version of the driver works for you then I am happy to merge it. You can then add support for hdev->set_bdaddr and hdev->set_diag in later patches. I also like to clean up the STP receive handler since it can be done a lot simpler and smaller, but that has to wait.

Since you never checked the result of the vendor event, I opted for just signaling that it arrived. If they can report success or failure, we need to add some extra code for that.
