[PATCH wireless-next v2 2/2] dt-bindings: net: wireless: wfx: discourage OOB IRQ with SDIO
From: Jérôme Pouiller
Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 04:50:54 EST
The WFxxx device provides an SDIO interface. In addition to the usual
in-band SDIO IRQ, the device also supports an out-of-band IRQ line.
However, using the OOB IRQ with SDIO requires to poll the control
register during the device initialization. This polling is unreliable:
if an IRQ is raised while the host reads the control register, the
device is lost and only a reset allows to recover it.
There is no way to fix this in software. So, warn the user that this
setup should be reserved to debug.
