Some devices (e.g. CYW5557x) require autobaud mode to enable FW loading.
Autobaud mode can also be required on some boards where the controller
device is using a non-standard baud rate when first powered on.

Only a limited subset of HCI commands are supported in autobaud mode.

These patches add a DT property, "brcm,uses-autobaud-mode", to control
autobaud mode selection.

Changes v1 -> v2:
- Modify description in binding document

Autobaud mode can also be required on some boards where the controller
device is using a non-standard baud rate when first powered on.

Only a limited subset of HCI commands are supported in autobaud mode.

This patch looks for a DT property, "brcm,uses-autobaud-mode", to enable
autobaud mode selection. If the property is present, the device is started
in autobaud mode by keeping RTS asserted while powering on the device. The
patch also prevents the use of unsupported commands for devices started in
autobaud mode.

Based on description, I understand the host triggers using autobaud.
However here you word it as "uses", so it is independent of host, it
looks like property of a device. The commit msg describes it even
different - "require autobaud".

This leads to second issue - it looks like there is some hardware
property (requiring to use autobaud) which should be described by
bindings. But instead you describe desired operational feature.

Hi Krzysztof,

Most devices _support_ autobaud mode but I don't have a definitive list. 
The CYW5557x is the first device family to _require_ autobaud mode for 
FW loading as far as I know.

Correct, the host triggers using autobaud.

> looks like property of a device.

I've been thinking of it as a a property of a specific board HW, 
inherited either from a property of the device being used or from a 
property of the HW design (e.g. a PCB using an alternate crystal 
frequency yielding a non-standard baud rate).

>   The commit msg describes it even
> different - "require autobaud".

Yes, the commit message describes two separate reasons why autobaud mode 
would be required:

1. Requirement coming from Device: "Some devices (e.g. CYW5557x) require 
autobaud mode to enable FW loading."

2. Requirement coming from HW design: "Autobaud mode can also be 
required on some boards where the controller device is using a 
non-standard baud rate when first powered on."

> This leads to second issue - it looks like there is some hardware
> property (requiring to use autobaud) which should be described by

Sorry about that. I've really been struggling with what should go into 
the description. Any suggestions or hints would be much appreciated.

How about, changing the property name to "brcm,requires-autobaud-mode" 
and the description to:
"Set this property if autobaud mode is required. Autobaud mode is 
required if the device's baud rate in normal mode is not supported by 
the host or if the device requires autobaud mode startup before loading FW."

Would that be an appropriate name and description?

Ok, will remove in next rev.
