While working on integrating IW624 in btnxpuart driver, I observed that the first reset command was getting timed out, after FW download was complete 2 out of 10 times. On further timing analysis, I noticed that this wait for CTS code did not actually help much, since CTS is already low after FW download, and becomes high after few more milli-seconds, and then low again after FW is initialized.
So it was either adding a "wait for CTS high" followed by "wait for CTS low", or simply increasing the sleep delay from 1000msec to 1200msec.
I chose the later as it seemed more cleaner, and did the job perfectly, and tested all previously supported chipsets to make sure nothing is broke.
But you are right, I should add an explanation for this change in the commit message in the v2 patch.

Thanks,
Neeraj
