Currently, GSI firmware must be loaded for IPA before it can be
used--either by the modem, or by the AP.  New hardware supports a
third option, with the bootloader taking responsibility for loading
GSI firmware.  In that case, neither the AP nor the modem needs to
do that.

The first patch in this series deprecates the "modem-init" Device
Tree property in the IPA binding, using a new "qcom,gsi-loader"
property instead.  The second and third implement logic in the code
to support either the "old" or the "new" way of specifying how GSI
firmware is loaded.

The last two patches implement a new value for the "qcom,gsi-loader"
property.  If the value is "skip", neither the AP nor modem needs to
load the GSI firmware.  The first of these patches implements the
change in the IPA binding; the second implements it in the code.

This is ok, but will not allow you to keep deprecated property in DTS
for the transition period. We talked about this that you need to keep
both or wait few cycles before applying DTS cleanups.

Isn't this example based on sdm845?

My intention is expressed in the comment.  Is it because of the
"if .... required ... qcom,gsi-loader"?

Should it be "if ... properties ... qcom,gsi-loader"?

I believe I tested the deprecated cases also, but will do it again.
If I coded it wrong I'd like to fix it (even if "it works").

Yes, you're right.  I'll update it.  I just wanted to supply an
example that actually showed using all these properties.  I'll
make the whole example be for sc7180.

Thank you.

You disallow modem-init here, so it cannot be present in DTS if
gsi-loader is present. Therefore the deprecated case like this:
  qcom,gsi-loader = "modem"
  modem-init;
is not allowed by the schema.

As I said, it is fine, but your DTS should wait a cycle.

OK, then this is exactly as I intended.  I am planning to wait
until Linux v6.2-rc1 is published before I post the DTS updates
that implement this change.  It is not technically necessary
until IPA v5.0 is fully supported, and I don't have confidence
all of that will accepted before then.

If I did it "your way" first I could get it done now, but then
I'd want to do another round later to make it this way.

I will still send an updated series shortly, to address your
other comment about wording in the description.  But I will
not be changing this part.

Thanks for the explanation Krzysztof.
