Are BT/FM functions completely separate? If so, separate bindings are 
okay. If not, then we need to describe the full chip.

It's three different hardware blocks (WiFi, BT and FM-radio) with shared
RF-hardware and an ARM core for control logic.

There seems to be some control commands going towards the BT part that
controls coexistence properties of the RF-hardware, but other than that
I see it as logically separate blocks.


So I think it's fine to model this as separate pieces in DT.

Otherwise looks good.

After more testing I've concluded that there is a timing dependency
between the WiFi driver and the wcnss_ctrl driver. If the WiFi driver
starts communicating with the WLAN subsystem in the WCNSS block before
we have finished uploading the NV data to the WCNSS core further
communication will fail.

So looks like I need to remodel this slightly to take this into account :/

Bjorn
