Not only AP6275P Wi-Fi device but also all Broadcom wireless devices allow
external low power clock input. In DTS the clock as an optional choice in
the absence of an internal clock.

We still have an issue that this clock input is also present in the
bindings specification broadcom-bluetooth.yaml (not in bluetooth
subfolder). This clock is actually a chip resource. What happens if both
are defined and both wifi and bt drivers try to enable this clock? Can this
be expressed in yaml or can we only put a textual warning in the property
descriptions?

Just like all clocks, what would happen? It will be enabled.

Oh, wow! Cool stuff. But seriously is it not a problem to have two entities controlling one and the same clock? Is this use-case taken into account by the clock framework?

Arend
