Dear Andy,


Thank you for your patch.

Add the brcm,bcm4384-bt compatible string to support the
Synaptics BCM4384 Bluetooth controller.

A fallback compatible is not suitable here because the BCM4384
controller requires a dedicated firmware patch file (.hcd) matching
its specific hardware ID and revision.

Falling back to an existing compatible would cause the driver to
request the wrong firmware binary and fail the controller
initialization.

I’d use your @synaptics.com address.
