The ESP8089 chips can mostly be enumerated via their sdio interface,
but they are clocked by an external crystal which may differ from one
board to the other.

This commit adds a binding for the sdio child node for these chips,
allowing to specify the external crystal type (for now, this binding
could be be extended with e.g. OOB irq support later).

The Android driver for this chip uses a text file with key,value pairs
which gets loaded as firmware to pass this info to the firmware.
The "esp,crystal_26M_en" name is chosen to match the crystal_26M_en
key-name in that text file.

Note that at this point there only is an out of tree driver for this
hardware, there is no clear timeline / path for merging this. Still
I believe it would be good to specify the binding for this in tree
now, so that any future migration to an in tree driver will not cause
compatiblity issues.

+Espressif ESP8089 wireless SDIO devices
+
+This node provides properties for controlling the ESP8089 wireless device.
+The node is expected to be specified as a child node to the SDIO controller
+that connects the device to the system.
+
+Required properties:
+
+ - compatible : Should be "esp,esp8089".
There's also esp8266. (And the difference of 8089 and 8266 is mainly the difference of crystal frequency... 26MHz for 8266, 40MHz for 8089)
So maybe it should be the difference of dt compatible?

2 of my tablets (both Polaroid ones) use a value of 2 (rather
then 0 or 1) for crystal_26M_en and using a different value
does not work. Another generic q8 form-factor tablet I've with
an a23 needs crystal_26M_en=1. In all these tablets the chip is
clearly marked esp8089, so the crystal_26M_en setting seems to
not be related to the chip model and deriving this from the
compatible string seems like a bad idea to me.

Regards,

Hans
