Let me start by saying that DT is one area where I'm a newbie, so I hope I can get some education. I'd like to start with an observation: I've used both WCN6855 with ath11k and WCN7850 with ath12k on an x86 laptop without any device tree, so from that perspective none of the device tree stuff is "required" -- these modules "just work". However I also realize that when these are installed on Qualcomm ARM platforms that there are GPIO pins that control things like XO clock, WLAN enable & Bluetooth enable, as well as voltage regulators, and the device is non-functional without those configured, so the device tree items are required in that environment. So just from that perspective saying something is "required" is confusing when there are platforms where it isn't required. And perhaps that is what is confusing Kalle as well? /jeff
