QCA has EEPROM data that only provides limits for edge channels (called "conformance test limits") The only other example I could find of a driver that stores it in DT is mwifiex, which uses an opaque short array of bytes that is passed to the firmware directly. So I don't think it makes sense to put this in the common bindings. On the other hand, I did try to keep the format as generic and extensible as possible, so we could always move it over from mt76 to the common binding once we encounter another driver that needs something like this. - Felix
