With Bluetooth it is pretty much all the same. Every UART chip has a shutdown/reset GPIO to enable/disable the chip behind the UART.

Personally I do not care what it is named, but it will be all the same for all Bluetooth chips. Take a poll from Broadcom, Intel, Realtek and Qualcomm and you can pick a reasonable common name.


The Nokia driver has "bluetooth-wakeup" gpio. The Broadcom one has 
"device-wakeup" and "shutdown". The "shutdown" gpio is set to its active 
state to power on the chip which sounds reversed logic. Same for the 
"bt-disable-n" gpio in the Qualcomm driver, configured as ACTIVE_HIGH, 
and which is set to 1 to enable it...

So for consistency, naming it as "shutdown" to stick to the bcm driver 
but it should be configured as ACTIVE_LOW in the dts so we actually do a 
gpiod_set_value(0) to un-shutdown it. Does that sound ok?

Regards,
Thierry

+Qualcomm Bluetooth Chips
+---------------------
+
+This documents the binding structure and common properties for serial
+attached Qualcomm devices.
+
+Serial attached Qualcomm devices shall be a child node of the host UART
+device the slave device is attached to.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: should contain one of the following:
+   * "qcom,qca6174-bt"
+ - bt-disable-n-gpios: gpio specifier, used to enable chip during probe
+ - pinctrl-0: pin phandle for bt_en gpio
+ - clocks: clock phandle for SUSCLK_32KHZ
+
+Example:
+
+serial@7570000 {
+	pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
+	pinctrl-0 = <&blsp1_uart1_default>;
+	pinctrl-1 = <&blsp1_uart1_sleep>;
+
+	bluetooth {
+		compatible = "qcom,qca6174-bt";
+
+		bt-disable-n-gpios = <&pm8994_gpios 19 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+
+		pinctrl-names = "default";
+		pinctrl-0 = <&bt_en_pin_a>;
+
+		clocks = <&divclk4>;
+	};
+};
