Subject: [PATCH wireless-next v2 2/2] dt-bindings: net: wireless: wfx: discourage OOB IRQ with SDIO
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 10:33:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901083548.113131-3-jerome.pouiller@silabs.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901083548.113131-1-jerome.pouiller@silabs.com>
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.
