Hi,

This series is the continuation of the series [1] that added the initial support
for the PCIe M.2 connectors. This series extends it by adding support for Key E
connectors. These connectors are used to connect the Wireless Connectivity
devices such as WiFi, BT, NFC and GNSS devices to the host machine over
interfaces such as PCIe/SDIO, USB/UART and NFC. This series adds support for
connectors that expose PCIe interface for WiFi and UART interface for BT. Other
interfaces are left for future improvements.

Serdev device support for BT
============================

Adding support for the PCIe interface was mostly straightforward and a lot
similar to the previous Key M connector. But adding UART interface has proved to
be tricky. This is mostly because of the fact UART is a non-discoverable bus,
unlike PCIe which is discoverable. So this series relied on the PCI notifier to
create the serdev device for UART/BT. This means the PCIe interface will be
brought up first and after the PCIe device enumeration, the serdev device will
be created by the pwrseq driver. This logic is necessary since the connector
driver and DT node don't describe the device, but just the connector. So to make
the connector interface Plug and Play, the connector driver uses the PCIe device
ID to identify the card and creates the serdev device. This logic could be
extended in the future to support more M.2 cards. Even if the M.2 card uses SDIO
interface for connecting WLAN, a SDIO notifier could be added to create the
serdev device.

Open questions
==============

Though this series adds the relevant functionality for handling the M.2 Key M
connectors, there are still a few open questions exists on the design. 

1. I've used the M.2 card model name as the serdev device name. This is found
out by comparing the PCIe VID:PID in the notifier. Is this approach acceptable?
I did not use the PID as the serdev name since it will vary if the SDIO
interface is used in the future.

2. PCIe client drivers of some M.2 WLAN cards like the Qcom QCA6390, rely on
the PCIe device DT node to extract properties such as
'qcom,calibration-variant', 'firmware-name', etc... For those drivers, should we
add the PCIe DT node in the Root Port in conjunction with the Port node as
below?

pcie@0 {
	wifi@0 {
		compatible = "pci17cb,1103";
		...
		qcom,calibration-variant = "LE_X13S";
	};

	port {
		pcie4_port0_ep: endpoint {
			remote-endpoint = <&m2_e_pcie_ep>;
		};
	};
};

This will also require marking the PMU supplies optional in the relevant ath
bindings for M.2 cards.

3. Some M.2 cards require specific power up sequence like delays between
regulator/GPIO and such. For instance, the WCN7850 card supported in this series
requires 50ms delay between powering up an interface and driving it. I've just
hardcoded the delay in the driver, but it is a pure hack. Since the pwrseq
driver doesn't know anything about the device it is dealing with before powering
it ON, how should it handle the device specific power requirements? Should we
hardcode the device specific property in the connector node? But then, it will
no longer become a generic M.2 connector and sort of defeats the purpose of the
connector binding.

I hope to address these questions with the help of the relevant subsystem
maintainers and the community. 

Testing
=======

This series, together with the devicetree changes [2] was tested on the
Qualcomm X1e based Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Laptop which has the WCN7850 WLAN/BT M.2
card connected over PCIe and UART.

Dependency
==========

This series is dependent on the M.2 Key M series [1] on top of v6.18-rc1.
