[PATCH v5 5/9] dt-bindings: connector: Add PCIe M.2 Mechanical Key E connector
From: Manivannan Sadhasivam via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Feb 24 2026 - 00:33:49 EST
From: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add the devicetree binding for PCIe M.2 Mechanical Key E connector defined
in the PCI Express M.2 Specification, r4.0, sec 5.1.2. This connector
provides interfaces like PCIe or SDIO to attach the WiFi devices to the
host machine, USB or UART+PCM interfaces to attach the Bluetooth (BT)
devices. Spec also provides an optional interface to connect the UIM card,
but that is not covered in this binding.
The connector provides a primary power supply of 3.3v, along with an
optional 1.8v VIO supply for the Adapter I/O buffer circuitry operating at
1.8v sideband signaling.
The connector also supplies optional signals in the form of GPIOs for fine
grained power management.

+description:
+ A PCIe M.2 E connector node represents a physical PCIe M.2 Mechanical Key E
+ connector. Mechanical Key E connectors are used to connect Wireless
+ Connectivity devices including combinations of Wi-Fi, BT, NFC to the host
+ machine over interfaces like PCIe/SDIO, USB/UART+PCM, and I2C.
