Re: [PATCH] hciattach: Add support for Marvell Bluetooth device

Hi Amitkumar,

This patch enables the Marvell Bluetooth device (UART sku)
over the H4 protocol. It configures the baudrate and download
firmware to bring up the device.

Command syntax: hciattach /dev/ttyUSB0 marvell

Make sure to place the marvell_hci_uart.conf file in
/lib/firmware/mrvl/

This file should contain below info:
HELPER_FILE_PATH=<full path of helper binary>
FIRMWARE_FILE_PATH=<full path of firmware binary>
FIRMWARE_DOWNLOAD_BAUD_RATE=<firmware download baud rate>

I would prefer if you create a drivers/bluetooth/hci_mrvl.c kernel driver that works with btattach. We are trying to phase out hciattach and not add more vendor specifics.

For at least Intel and Broadcom hardware we have full in kernel support for firmware loading and configuration. And the benefit is that code can be shared between UART and USB.

Regards

Marcel
