[PATCH V5 3/4] Bluetooth: btnxpuart: Add M.2 Bluetooth device support using pwrseq

From: Sherry Sun (OSS)

Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 06:16:22 EST


From: Sherry Sun <sherry.sun@xxxxxxx>

Power supply to the M.2 Bluetooth device attached to the host using M.2
connector is controlled using the 'uart' pwrseq device. So add support
for getting the pwrseq device if the OF graph link is present.

Once obtained, pwrseq_power_on() is called to power up the M.2 Bluetooth
card. The power sequencer descriptor is obtained via devm_pwrseq_get()
with the UART controller device (serdev->ctrl->dev), since the OF graph
link is defined on the UART controller node.

The devm cleanup of the pwrseq descriptor is tied to the UART controller
device, not the serdev child device, so it does not fire when the serdev
probe fails and nxp_serdev_remove(), an explicit pwrseq_power_off() call
is added in probe error path and nxp_serdev_remove() to ensure the power
reference stay balanced.

Hi Frank and Bartosz, this V5 patch adds an explicit pwrseq_power_off()
call in both probe error path and nxp_serdev_remove() to properly handle
power references. I'm keeping your Reviewed-by tag. I can remove it if you
think it's inappropriate.
