We understand the concern about potential regressions on older SOM revisions. However, since the wireless module is soldered on the SOM and not configurable, we are aligning the upstream device tree with the hardware revision that is currently in production. This change also aligns the i.MX8MM VAR-SOM with other VAR-SOM platforms already present in mainline (e.g. i.MX8MP, i.MX93), which use the IW61x wireless module as well. The intention is to keep the VAR-SOM family consistent in mainline with the hardware that is actively produced. If there is a strong requirement to preserve an explicit description of the older Broadcom-based revision in mainline, we can evaluate adding a separate description. Best regards, Stefano
