📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The device tree enables UART4 Bluetooth support for the Banana Pi M5 Pro in Rockchip kernel versions 7.1 and 7.2. It configures RTS/CTS, RTL8822CS GPIO controls, and Bluetooth pinctrl states.

Enables UART4 with RTS/CTS pin control and adds an RTL8822CS Bluetooth child node with power, device-wake, host-wake GPIOs, and Bluetooth pinctrl states.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e55bc

The new device-tree configuration may select the wrong Bluetooth module for Bananapi M5 Pro hardware, preventing Bluetooth from working on affected revisions. Merge should wait until revision-specific configuration is provided consistently in both kernel DTS files.
