A similar configuration has been in use on Armbian images since kernel
4.14, but not in a clean enough format for submission. I will test
this, but the only differences I see compared to ours are combination
of the mystery "chip_h" power domain/reset with the Wifi one and the
inclusion of sd_uhs_ddr50.

This patch adds the wifi to the ASUS Tinker Board (S) machines.

Tony, thanks for the interest in this and the Bluetooth RFC. To my mind it would be good if we could mainline an agreed solution. As much as anything doesn't make sense to me for Armbian and ArchLinux Arm to have independent solutions.

In the ArchLinux Arm  camp I'm not a fan of applying many patches to support a board, as much as anything it makes that board non generic - and so has to have its own hand crafted kernel. This to me isn't a good solution, so if possible prefer the pain of getting it mainlined.

Stefan Wahren has come up with a minimal patch to hci_h5 for bluetooth, that says the relevant properties can be read from the device tree. This means that acpi is no longer necessary. Thats currently out in testing.

Anyway would be good if Arch and Armbian could merge our efforts ...

Regards,

David.
