It's three different hardware blocks (WiFi, BT and FM-radio) with shared
RF-hardware and an ARM core for control logic.

There seems to be some control commands going towards the BT part that
controls coexistence properties of the RF-hardware, but other than that
I see it as logically separate blocks.


So I think it's fine to model this as separate pieces in DT.
