[PATCH v3 0/4] arm64: dts: amlogic: t7: Add UART support and enable Bluetooth on VIM4

[Ronald Claveau]

This series adds all UART controllers for the Amlogic T7 SoC and enables
the Bluetooth controller on the Khadas VIM4 board.

The T7 SoC ships with six UART controllers (A through F), but only
uart_a was previously described in the device tree.

  - Patch 1 adds the pinctrl group for UART C, which is needed to route
    its four signals (TX, RX, CTS, RTS) through the correct pads.

  - Patch 2 completes the uart_a node (peripheral clock) and
    repositions it to respect the ascending reg address order required
    by the DT specification. It then adds nodes for UART B through F,
    each with their respective peripheral clock.

  - Patch 3 removes redundant clocks and clock-names for UART A on
    Khadas VIM4 DT. It then uses those defined from DTSI.

  - Patch 4 enables UART C on the Khadas VIM4 board and attaches the
    on-board BCM43438 Bluetooth controller to it, with hardware flow
    control, wakeup GPIOs, LPO clock and power supplies.

Changes in v3:
- Patches 3-4: split into two separate patches:
               3. remove redundant clocks from UART A
               4. add UART C node according to Neil's feedback.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260416-add-bluetooth-t7-vim4-v2-0-9a57098fd055@aliel.fr

Changes in v2:
- PATCH 1: change underscore to dash in pin node name,
           according to Xianwei's feedback.
- PATCH 3: remove clocks and clock-names as already defined in DTSI,
           according to Xianwei's feedback.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260415-add-bluetooth-t7-vim4-v1-0-0ba0746cc1d6@aliel.fr

[PATCH v3 1/4] arm64: dts: amlogic: t7: Add uart_c pinctrl pins group

[Ronald Claveau]

Add the pin multiplexing configuration for UART C (TX, RX, CTS, RTS)
in the T7 SoC pinctrl node, required to route the UART C signals
through the correct pads before enabling the controller.

[PATCH v3 2/4] arm64: dts: amlogic: t7: Add UART controllers nodes

[Ronald Claveau]

Add device tree nodes for UART B through F (serial@7a000 to
serial@82000), completing the UART controller description for the T7
SoC. Each node includes the peripheral clock.

While at it, move the uart_a node to its correct position in the
bus address order (0x78000) to comply with the DT requirement that
nodes be sorted by their reg address. Complete the
uart_a node with its peripheral clock (CLKID_SYS_UART_A) and the
associated clock-names, matching the vendor default clock assignment,
consistent with the other UART nodes.

 compatible Bluetooth controller to it. The node configures the RTS/CTS
hardware flow control, the associated pinmux, the power supplies (vddao_3v3
and vddao_1v8), the 32 kHz LPO clock shared with the wifi32k fixed
clock, and the GPIO lines used for host wakeup, device wakeup and
shutdown.
