[RFC PATCH 1/6] dt-bindings: net: wireless: update required properties for ath12k PCI module

Raj Kumar Bhagat posted 6 patches 1 month ago
There is a newer version of this series
[RFC PATCH 1/6] dt-bindings: net: wireless: update required properties for ath12k PCI module
Posted by Raj Kumar Bhagat 1 month ago
The current device-tree bindings for the Ath12K module list many
WCN7850-specific properties as required. However, these properties are
not applicable to other Ath12K devices.

Hence, remove WCN7850-specific properties from the required section,
retaining only generic properties valid across all Ath12K devices.
WCN7850-specific properties will remain required based on the device's
compatible enum.

Just not true. These apply to all devices described in this binding.

NAK.

Don't send patches for your downstream stuff.

This is not for downstream. This series is the per-requisite for ath12k
MLO support in upstream.

In the subsequent patch [2/6] we are adding new device (QCN9274) in this
binding that do not require the WCN7850 specific properties.

This is a refactoring patch for the next patch [2/6].

It's just wrong. Not true. At this point of patch there are no other
devices. Don't refactor uselessly introducing incorrect hardware
description.

Ok then, If we squash this patch with the next patch [2/6], that actually adding
the new device, then this patch changes are valid right?

Yes, except I asked to have separate binding for devices with different
interface (WSI). You add unrelated devices to same binding, growing it
into something tricky to manage. Your second patch misses if:then
disallwing all this WSI stuff for existing device... and then you should
notice there is absolutely *nothing* in common.

I understand your point about having separate bindings if there are no common
properties. However, the title and description of this binding indicate that it
is intended for Qualcomm ath12k wireless devices with a PCI bus. Given this, the
QCN9274 seems to fit within the same binding.

Additionally, there will likely be more properties added in the future that could
be common. For example, the “qcom,ath12k-calibration-variant” property (which the
ath12k host currently doesn’t support reading and using, hence we are not adding it
now) could be a common property.

If you still recommend creating a separate binding for the QCN9274, we are open to
working on that.

Thank you for your guidance.

Feel free to fix it. Or add common schema used by multiple bindings.

You are supposed to add them now, not later. See writing bindings. They
are supposed to be complete.

What is "host"? Either the device has this property or not. Whether host
supports something does not really matter, right? You have hardware
property or you have it *not*.

Sure will add "qcom,ath12k-calibration-variant" in next version.

Ah, my bad. I meant to say “ath12k driver”.
