This function allows to send a HCI command without expecting any
controller event/response in return.

so this is not a _sync command. You are not waiting for the completion. So this is more like __hci_cmd_send or __hci_cmd_submit. I am also debating if this should be limited to vendor OGF only, meaning it should throw an error for all others.

Regards

Marcel

This makes sense, I agree we should not allow standard HCI command to
be unresponded and strictly follow the specification.
I think __hci_cmd_send/submit is a bit too generic and we already have
a hci_send_cmd which has a different behavior, don't want to cause
confusion. So what about __hci_cmd_noresp or __hci_cmd_vendor...?

However from a driver framework point of view we do not have this concept. And we don’t have it, because that kind of “flow control” is not needed since we have HCI command and also ACL packet flow control that should be used.

Yes, we are out of spec here and the only overload protection is UART
hardware flow control in this case.

> Anyway, I am against __hci_cmd_vendor since that is a bit misleading and the _noresp seems a bit off as well. We could do __hci_cmd_dispatch or __hci_cmd_post. I am not convinced that __hci_cmd_send would be actually that bad. It is essentially the just that (except it bypasses the hdev->cmd_q.


Fair enough.
