let me explain more for this patch:
a BT enable failure issue is reported for WCN6855 2.1 chip, the root
cause located is that HCI command is sent before controller reset is 
Done.
100ms delay is suggested by firmware team and it is a appropriate 
interval
based on verification. so these info is not available from data sheet 
currently.

you are right.
i will only restrict that delay to WCN6855 2.1 chip this issue is 
reported for.
