Control is happening on a higher network stack level than UART. It
control is done through AT commands.

Yes, but this is in my new understanding irrelevant for proper DT description.

Sorry, but I can’t exactly follow what you want to show.

Yes, the port mechanism describes a device to device connection.

But it does not describe system memory. Although it is the source of
the video (i.e. the framebuffer).

This shows that the DT does not necessarily describe data flow.

So why do you want to describe data flow from tty to uart to some connected
device?

Well, this view can be followed, but is as strange and bent to fit
like my view of the w2sg0004 as a “regulator”.

DT does not necessarily have to describe data flow as we have seen
in the video pipeline example.

Well, it was introduced in platform device kernels that it was possible
to define a dtr-gpio for the uart. And there was a driver for the w2sg0004
that presented itself as a gpio-controller with a single gpio. This “virtual”
gpio was used to power on the chip as soon as DTR was asserted.

Parts of this had been in mainline but have been removed some months
ago.

Well, it is difficult to cover all future use cases.

But then you can still add a uart = <&uart1> reference to the DT node
of the driver. Because I understand that then the driver is the master
(and needs access to a hidden UART) and not the GPS chip a slave of
an exposed UART.

Yes, you wrote and I already pointed out that I disagree. It contradicts
what

http://www.devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Usage#Devices

appears to tell me. So who is right?

Ok, this is a reasonable example. But I still don’ see that it requires that the
bt chip must be a subnode of the uart.

Then, I would suggest to write it like you have done:

“the BT chip is connected to the port uart1”

This can be easily translated into DT language:

/ {
	bt {
		compatible = “vendor,chip”;
		uart = <&uart1>;	/* this chip is connected to uart1 */
		enable-gpio = <&gpio3 17 0>;
	};
};

This also resembles the “port” mechanism (just simplified because it is not
a backwards forward linkage).

Or exactly follows the pattern that a driver that wants to use some gpio simply
links to the gpio controller. Or a driver wants to control a gpio.

What I don’t understand is what is here so special to not use this DT pattern.

But It could also open a different solution for the tty open() -> w2sg power on problem.

/ {
	gps {
		compatible = “wi2wi,w2sg0004”;
		uart = <&uart1>;	/* this chip is connected to uart1 */
		enable-gpio = <&gpio3 17 0>;
	};
};

Here, the w2sg0004 probe function could register with uart1 to get notified
about open/close events and then do what it has to do.

In that case the w2sg0004 driver would not even need to present itself
as a virtual gpio (for DTR) or a regulator because it has a kernel internal
API to apply to tell the uart what it wants to do.

I think we should get a better understanding of the DT design patterns.

IMHO (or IMPoV):

* parent>child is not for describing “control” or “primary interface” but addressability
* if a driver needs access to another component, a reference property is used
