The SDIO HCI implementation needs to know when the MAC is powered on. This is needed because 32-bit register access has to be split into 4x 8-bit register access when the MAC is not fully powered on or while powering off. When the MAC is powered on 32-bit register access can be used to reduce the number of transfers but splitting into 4x 8-bit register access still works in that case. During the power on sequence is how RTW_FLAG_POWERON is only set when the power on sequence has completed successfully. During power off however RTW_FLAG_POWERON is set. This means that the upcoming SDIO HCI implementation does not know that it has to use 4x 8-bit register accessors. Clear the RTW_FLAG_POWERON flag early when powering off the MAC so the whole power off sequence is processed with RTW_FLAG_POWERON unset. This will make it possible to use the RTW_FLAG_POWERON flag in the upcoming SDIO HCI implementation. Note that a failure in rtw_pwr_seq_parser() while applying chip->pwr_off_seq can theoretically result in the RTW_FLAG_POWERON flag being cleared while the chip is still powered on. However, depending on when the failure occurs in the power off sequence the chip may be on or off. Even the original approach of clearing RTW_FLAG_POWERON only when the power off sequence has been applied successfully could end up in some corner case where the chip is powered off but RTW_FLAG_POWERON was not cleared.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
