Complete conversion of the WiFi rfkill device to use device
properties/software nodes by utilizing PROPERTY_ENTRY_GPIO() instead of
a lookup table.
Applied, thanks!

[1/1] ARM: tegra: paz00: use software nodes to describe GPIOs for WiFi rfkill
      commit: 47ac458bb229f8c4864081d173adbcfc55c34880
Do you know by any chance why paz00 does not simply configure rfkill
switch via device tree? The driver (rfkill-gpio) seem to support device
tree...
last time I tried this was rejected because the wifi chip is on the usb
bus and "rfkill" should be a sub-function of this chip [1], but that was
some time ago...

Looking hard the schematics, the wifi chip does not have a gpio input as
first thought. Rather it seems that the first gpio toggles a regulator
which supplies the wifi module (m2 card) with power and the second gpio is
just connected to the wifi LED.

Not sure how to transfer this into dt, but I guess this would be the
better solution.
Then the first GPIO should probably just be described as a fixed regulator
feeding the USB controller that the M.2 module is connected to.

There's also a WIP M.2 E-key binding and driver, but AFAIK that doesn't
actually implement USB support.

The second one could be just a GPIO-driver LED with a netdev trigger?
