Working around this with retries seems ok for now if the repro rate is
really low, but it shouldn't necessarily be interpreted as "the problem is
fixed". Please mention the symptoms in the commit message for documentation,
then the retries can potentially be removed in the futures when the root
cause is fixed.

I would say it's precisely the right time to add this function. Patch 1 of this
series adds handling of the BT_EN GPIO to qca_power_off(), now this patch
duplicates the code of the BT_EN handling in qca_open().

'needed' is a relative term. It certainly isn't needed from a purely functional
POV. However it is desirable for encapsulation and to avoid code duplication.

Agreed
