I like to differentiate between a shutdown GPIO (and we can argue about the inversion here) and the reset GPIO. If we loose the firmware and the programmed BD_ADDR, then it is a hard-reset, otherwise it is shutdown/power GPIO. So can we agree on how we name the hard-reset, shutdown, wakeup etc. GPIOs for Bluetooth UART devices?
