+ - clocks: clock phandle for SUSCLK_32KHZ

if I compare this with broadcom-bluetooth.txt or ti-bluetooth.txt then
besides compatible, everything else is optional. The
nokia-bluetooth.txt has everything required, but that is also a really
specific platform.

Can we be less restrictive for a QCA general purpose chip?


The way we deal with this in other bindings is that we tie such
requirements to the compatible; i.e. we would say that qcom,qca6174-bt
requires a clock and we would have something like qcom,qca-bt that makes
it optional.

The beauty of this is that the driver will tell you if you forgot to
specify the clock when it actually is required, which saves you
considerable amount of debugging time.


NB. The way the bcm driver handles this is insufficient, as it treats
any error from clk_get as "there's no clock specified". The driver
should accept a clock not being specified, but should fail properly when
a clock is specified but can't be acquired (e.g. due to clk_get()
returning EPROBE_DEFER).

This one I do not understand and you might want to shed some light
into why this is done that way.


This is completely generic and only relates to getting the electrical
properties of the gpio pin set up correctly. So I would recommend that
we omit this from the binding and example (including the pinctrl
properties for the serial above).

If I remove the pinctrl entry in the bluetooth node, the gpio19 is then marked as unclaimed. The drive strength also defaults to low but that doesn't seem to be an issue and the the chip can still be enabled through gpio19. Is it ok to have it unclaimed? If so I can remove it from the binding and the doc then.

Regarding the blsp1_uart1_default of the serial node, I can still enable the chip if I remove it but the hci commands all end in timeout. It seems that the function for these pins has to be explicitly set to blsp_uart2. So at least, the default pinctrl seems mandatory.
