[PATCH v4 06/11] Bluetooth: hci_qca: Set 'bt_en_available' based on pwrseq power controllability

From: Loic Poulain

Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 12:21:25 EST


A Bluetooth device only needs the non-persistent setup if the host can
gate its power, so that it is actually reset on the next power-on. When the
power is controlled by a power sequencer, whether the host can gate it
depends on the hardware wiring, e.g. the presence of the BT_EN or
W_DISABLE2# line.

Query the generic pwrseq_is_controllable() helper whenever the BT power
comes from a sequencer, regardless of which provider it is (M2, WCN, ...).
If the power is not controllable, clear 'bt_en_available' so that
HCI_QUIRK_NON_PERSISTENT_SETUP is not set.

This is based on Manivannan's original patch that keyed the decision off
the W_DISABLE2# device tree property, it now uses the generic pwrseq helper
and handles the always-on case.
