But we also need to ensure things do get powered down properly after ifconfig wlan0 down :) IMO after ifconfig wlan0 down returns, there should be no waiting needed. > Would it be possible to re-program the firmware, even if the SDIO card > stayed powered-on? That might help for some cases, but the problem of how to ensure the card is powered down after ifconfig wlan0 down returns still exists. > In regards to delays needed due to a capacitance.

Hmm I do have a mostly done wlcore pwrseq driver here somewhere that I have not had a chance to finish again. But that's not going to work for a fix and needs updating of the related dts files too.
