In "[PATCH 2/4] ARM: dts: qcom: msm8974-samsung-klte: Pin brcm,board-
type in wifi":

   /*
    * This aims to allow other klte* variants to load the same firmware,
    * as klte variants have little differences in the wifi part.
    */

So it is intentional, in order to let them share the same FW, in
particular, the NVRAM file.

Without [PATCH 2/4] and with this [PATCH 4/4]:
- klte DT probes "brcmfmac*.samsung,klte.txt"
- kltechn DT probes "brcmfmac*.samsung,kltechn.txt", but never probes
"brcmfmac*.samsung,klte.txt"

With both [PATCH 2/4] and this [PATCH 4/4]:
- klte DT probes "brcmfmac*.samsung,klte.txt"
- kltechn DT probes "brcmfmac*.samsung,klte.txt"

I pinned "brcm,board-type" in the klte DT instead of the kltechn one
because other klte* variants are known to have little difference in the
WiFi part. By pinning it in the klte DT, future ports could be easier.

If you'd prefer not doing this, I am OK to drop [PATCH 2/4] in the v2
patchset.

FYI:

LineageOS considers all klte variants use "common" WiFi FW:

I've tested the klte port of PostmarketOS (with klte FW and this
patchset) on kltechn, and it worked fine. For the FW used by
PostmarketOS, see also:

At the very beginning, I thought including .dts could make the patchset
tiny (considering that the difference among klte* is also tiny).

I agree that splitting the common parts into a .dtsi will make things
more elegant and make klte* DTs consistent with the style of qcom DTs.

Will do in v2. Thanks for your advice.

Thanks,
