> 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.

> Changes since v1:
