[PATCH v5 1/2] dt-bindings: serial: Document WK2xxx SPI UART

From: zjzhao

Date: Fri Oct 09 2026 - 04:29:43 EST


From: Zi Jie Zhao <zjzhao@xxxxxxxxx>

Add a DT binding for the WK2xxx SPI-to-UART bridge ICs (WK2124,
WK2132, WK2168, WK2212 and WK2204) from Chengdu Weikai
Microelectronics (WKmic).

Describe each UART channel with a serial@N child node carrying its
serial and RS-485 properties. Register the wkmic vendor prefix based
on the vendor website.

Differentiate compatible strings by channel count and register
availability. WK2124 and WK2132 lack hardware flow-control and
RS-485 registers. WK2212 is a separate two-channel model that
supports both features. Reject serial@2 and serial@3 on the
two-channel members.

Correct the WK2202 compatible used in the public v4 series to
WK2212. WK2202 in the public reference driver is a typo.

Require the standard clocks property for the single external
reference clock used by the chips.

+description:
+ The WK2xxx family (WK2124, WK2132, WK2168, WK2212 and WK2204) are SPI to
+ UART bridge ICs from WKmic (Chengdu Weikai Microelectronics). Each IC
+ exposes two or four full-duplex UART channels with 256-byte RX/TX FIFOs
+ through a single SPI slave interface and one interrupt line, and is
+ clocked from a single external reference clock. Each channel is
+ described by a "serial@N" child node that carries its own serial and
+ RS-485 properties.
