Hello Tamas,

I agree; it's not possible to tell if the user will use a PCIe/USB,
PCIe/UART, SDIO/UART, perhaps USB/UART device, or any other HIF
combination. The way I see it is UART8 is hardwired to the M2E, so
there is a reasonable expectation that it should work too if need be.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this UART supposed to be
used for the Bluetooth part of an SDIO WiFi + Bluetooth module, in
form of a non-standard M.2 module that Radxa sells?

With that in mind, I see very little sense in just enabling the UART,
without defining the entire Bluetooth interface, which AFAIK produces
nasty looking error messages in the kernel log when there's actually
nothing connected to the UART.

As a side note, please use inline replying. [*]

This should probably be enabled using an dt-overlay, there is no UART
device embedded on the board and the reason I left it disabled in
original board DT submission.

On second thought maybe they should be enabled, think PCIe and USB lines
on the M.2 Key E is already enabled by default. I probably only tested
with a pcie/usb wifi/bt card and not a sido/uart wifi/bt card.
