Re: [PATCHv2] Description of the realtek bluetooth device tree hooks

Thanks Rob,

I'll hopefully make those changes this weekend, and resubmit - just so next weekend can move onto the device tree.

Oh yes, on the "-bluetooth" or "-bt"; as these devices have both and sdio input for wifi, and uart for bluetooth; I guess they will need to be listed twice in a device tree, both under uart and sdio. Now as both these parts of the device tree will want to specify the driver used, and the driver is different for bluetooth and for wifi - doesn't that mean we should specify compatible differently? Otherwise how will the kernel know which driver to load for wifi and which for bluetooth?

So question is am I missing something here, and this could be simplified?

On the interrupts, GPIO control lines, power supplies, etc, on the ASUS code that I'm basing the patches on (for Tinker Board S) - these bits are freestanding in the device tree, and mainly go in with the wifi patch (and not bluetooth). I'll put some though into how this is best arranged when going mainline. I think if I'm honest, if I wait to get all these extras in the documentation, this will only get settled when I get the wifi into the device tree - as problem is more natural there. This though would delay the bluetooth patch probably a month. I'd prefer to get something out there - even if I have to return later to tidy the documentation.

Regards, and thanks for the helpful comments.

David.

Please follow conventions for patch subjects. 'git log --oneline
--no-merges -- path/to/file' usually gives a good clue. In this case,
something like:

+Realtek bluetooth devices connected via a UART
+
+- compatible: should be "realtek,<name>-bluetooth"
+  except for "realtek,trl8761atv" - which only has a serial bluetooth connection
+       "realtek,rtl8723as-bluetooth"
+       "realtek,rtl8723bs-bluetooth"
+       "realtek,rtl8723ds-bluetooth"
+       "realtek,rtl8761atv"
+       "realtek,rtl8821as-bluetooth"
+       "realtek,rtl8821cs-bluetooth"
+       "realtek,rtl8822bs-bluetooth"
Arguably, '-bluetooth' is not necessary as nothing else is attached to
the serial port. At least shorten it to '-bt'.

+- These device are bluetooth devices, that connect via a uart
s/device/devices/

+- all devices (except for rtl8761atv) are also wifi devices, this is connected
+  seperatly via sdio - and is not covered by this compatible node
Really, this should be up above the property list in a description of
the device(s).

+- ideally these will be referenced in a device tree serial node via serdev
Not ideally, but it is only valid for this to be a child of a UART.

serdev is a kernel thing, and shouldn't be part of the binding doc.

+ http://events17.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/serdev-elce-2017-2.pdf
Useful, but again, not part of this binding.

There's no interrupts, GPIO control lines, power supplies, etc. for
these chips? The binding should be complete even if your platform
doesn't need these.

+
+Example:
+
+&uart0 {
+	status = "okay";
Don't show status in examples.

+       	pinctrl-0 = <&uart0_xfer>, <&uart0_cts>;
+       	bluetooth {
+               	  compatible = "realtek,rtl8723bs-bluetooth";
+       	};
Mixed tabs and spaces. Use tabs.

+};
+
+this ensures that the bluetooth device is tied to the correct uart
