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
