Subject[PATCH 2/2] mwifiex: pcie: don't delay for sleep cookie when not required
Date
Wifi modules like 8997 don't support the "sleep cookie", and so most of
the time, we just time out in the mwifiex_delay_for_sleep_cookie()
function ("max count reached while accessing sleep cookie"). This is a
waste of time, and we should skip it for modules without the sleep
cookie flag.

Additionally, this delay is sometimes counterproductive. For instance,
when PCIe ASPM is enabled, this extra delay can leave the link idle for
long enough to re-enter a low-power state even while we are trying to
wake the module, compounding an additional delay when it comes time to
read the next register (e.g., the interrupt status). On some systems,
this is detrimental to overall system latency.

Tested on Marvell 8997, but would be good to get confirmation from Marvell.
