wifi: mt76: mt7921e: improve reliability of dma reset
The hardware team has advised the driver that it is necessary to first put WFDMA into an idle state before resetting the WFDMA. Otherwise, the WFDMA may enter an unknown state where it cannot be polled with the right state successfully. To ensure that the DMA can work properly while a stressful cold reboot test was being made, we have reordered the programming sequence in the driver based on the hardware team's guidance. The patch would modify the WFDMA disabling flow from "DMA reset -> disabling DMASHDL -> disabling WFDMA -> polling and waiting until DMA idle" to "disabling WFDMA -> polling and waiting for DMA idle -> disabling DMASHDL -> DMA reset. Where he polling and waiting until WFDMA is idle is coordinated with the operation of disabling WFDMA. Even while WFDMA is being disabled, it can still handle Tx/Rx requests. The additional polling allows sufficient time for WFDMA to process the last T/Rx request. When the idle state of WFDMA is reached, it is a reliable indication that DMASHDL is also idle to ensure it is safe to disable it and perform the DMA reset.
