[PATCH net-next 1/5] dt-bindings: net: qcom,ipa: deprecate modem-init

From: Alex Elder
Date: Sat Nov 12 2022 - 15:07:38 EST


GSI firmware for IPA must be loaded during initialization, either by
the AP or by the modem. The loader is currently specified based on
whether the Boolean modem-init property is present.

Instead, use a new property with an enumerated value to indicate
explicitly how GSI firmware gets loaded. With this in place, a
third approach can be added in an upcoming patch.

The new qcom,gsi-loader property has two defined values:
- self: The AP loads GSI firmware
- modem: The modem loads GSI firmware
The modem-init property must still be supported, but is now marked
deprecated.
