Subject[PATCH RFC v4 07/10] dt-bindings: net: add binding for QCA7000 UART
Message-ID<tpDbX-nU-15@gated-at.bofh.it>
This is the serdev binding for the QCA7000 UART driver (Ethernet over UART).

Signed-off-by: Stefan Wahren <stefan.wahren@i2se.com>
---

According to this binding are still some questions:

Where should be the optional hardware flow control defined (at master or slave side)?

Is it okay to have two bindings (qca-qca7000-spi and qca-qca7000-uart) or should they be merged?

Probably should be in the slave side. We already have uart-has-rtscts
and rts/cts-gpios for the UART. Those mean we have RTS/CTS, but not
necessarily that we want to enable them.

In many cases, the driver may know what it needs.

Are they mutually-exclusive or both are used at the same time? What
are the dependencies between the interfaces?

The description can be "see ./ethernet.txt"

Add this to the slave binding doc with some caveats as to when this
should or should not be used as we discussed.

Like all the other UART settings the hardware flow control can be
configured in the QCA7000 firmware and the driver can't detect it.

Property suggestion for the slave side:

use-rtscts

They are mutually-exclusive because they use the same pins.

Except they uses the same pins of the QCA7000, i can't see any dependency.

Okay.

I think they should be a single doc.
