The patch looks OK, but given the module is removable, I think it should be an overlay. The overlay would enable WiFi + Bluetooth, and all the peripherals needed to connect them. That way, if the module is not installed, we avoid confusing the user with unused peripherals, and avoid having live voltage on an unoccupied header.But as this header have specific usage, we will also confuse user if it's not enabled as its target usage.Yet you would enable unused resources. This was already pointed out here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9670235/
I think, before we have an official repository of device tree overlays (either directly in torvalds/linux or maintained by linux-sunxi), we shouldn't rely on device tree overlay functionality.
