I am really against these intermixing of Bluetooth and WiFi details. There is work ongoing to do some sequence power procedure. Maybe that is something you should look into. This is a mess.

And again, we are still hacking around hci_qca.c instead of writing a clean serdev only driver for this hardware. I have the feeling that nobody listens to review comments these days. It is just hacking patches together to get hardware enabled somehow and then disappear.
