About how many different variants are we talking? Couldn't you just use a different compatible string for each variant and specify the voltage/current limits in the hci_qca.c driver, as currently done for the WCN3990? I understand that it requires touching the driver for each new variant, but it might be preferable to specify these static values in a single location, instead of repeating them in the DT snippets of every device that uses such a controller, with the possiblity of configuration errors. The DT folks can probably provide guidance on what is typically done in cases like this. Thanks Matthias

It may be good to have it in DTS. For now we will provide the updated patch with new compatible and let's continue to discuss with DT folks for their view on these cases. > The DT folks can probably provide guidance on what is typically done > in cases like this. > > Thanks > > Matthias
