note: the above could also be in the common path, personally I don't
have a strong preference.

I wonder if the non-wcn3990 delay could be reduced too, 300ms seems an
eternity, however I don't have hardware to validate such a change.

That raises a question: how many different chips are actually
supported by this driver? In earlier reviews we were frequently
talking about the ROME family and I assumed it must be a larger
number, however there are only compatible strings for the qca6174 and
the wcn3990. If there is only one other controller (or a low number
of very similar ones that use the same compatible string?) maybe
Qualcomm could help with testing?

Thanks
