[PATCH net-next 0/2] nfc: s3fwrn5: support the S3NRN4V variant
From: Jorijn van der Graaf

This adds support for the Samsung S3NRN4V, an S3FWRN5-family NFC
controller found e.g. on the Fairphone 6 (SM7635), to the s3fwrn5
driver.
The S3NRN4V differs from the already-supported parts in three ways: it
ships with working firmware behind a bootloader protocol the driver
does not implement (so firmware download is skipped), it loads its RF
registers through a different proprietary command (DUAL_OPTION), and it
gates its reference clock through a CLK_REQ line that the driver must
service for the chip to be able to generate the 13.56 MHz poll carrier.
Patch 1 adds the compatible and the clk-req-gpios property to the
binding; patch 2 implements the variant in the driver.
Tested on a Fairphone 6 running a mainline kernel: reader mode polls
and reads ISO 14443-4 tags reliably, both from a fresh boot and across
driver reloads. Existing S3FWRN5/S3FWRN82 setups are unaffected.
