Quan Zhou 87714bf6ed wifi: mt76: mt7921e: improve reliability of dma reset
The hardware team has advised the driver that it is necessary to first put
WFDMA into an idle state before resetting the WFDMA. Otherwise, the WFDMA
may enter an unknown state where it cannot be polled with the right state
successfully. To ensure that the DMA can work properly while a stressful
cold reboot test was being made, we have reordered the programming sequence
in the driver based on the hardware team's guidance.

The patch would modify the WFDMA disabling flow from

"DMA reset -> disabling DMASHDL -> disabling WFDMA -> polling and waiting
until DMA idle" to "disabling WFDMA -> polling and waiting for DMA idle ->
disabling DMASHDL -> DMA reset.

Where he polling and waiting until WFDMA is idle is coordinated with the
operation of disabling WFDMA. Even while WFDMA is being disabled, it can
still handle Tx/Rx requests. The additional polling allows sufficient time
for WFDMA to process the last T/Rx request. When the idle state of WFDMA is
reached, it is a reliable indication that DMASHDL is also idle to ensure it
is safe to disable it and perform the DMA reset.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
