Based on your driver it is compatible with rtl8822cs, so you can
indicate it in the binding and use just one of_device_id entry.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

It's very similar, and uses some of the same constants, but has a
different firmware. I assumed the firmware difference is enough to
require it to be differentiated, but I wasn't sure. You are saying
it does not? I just want to be clear.

As always, thank you.

If by "differentiated" you mean "incompatible", then depends:
1. You have firmware-name property to indicate the firmware to load and
then you can use one compatible to bind and just load different firmware,
2. If device variant is autodectable, it's compatible.

realtek,rtl8723ds-bt also was added to the driver uselessly...

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Gotcha.

They are incompatible, but the driver should be able to autodetect each
device as best I can tell. In fact all of the devices listed in the
bindings should be autodetectable by the driver (again, as best I can
tell). Honestly though that's assuming I'm using the correct firmware,
which is why I have this tagged as an RFC. I'm really hoping to get
Realtek's attention for them to chime in to confirm I'm using the
most recent firmware and under what license/terms the firmware can
be redistributed so that the firmware may be added to linux-firmware.

Assuming everything is good though, I can resubmit V2 and instead of
adding a new compatible just noting that the 8822CS and 8821CS use
the same bindings.

Thank you.

They cannot use the same bindings. You always need specific compatible
and this was not discussed here. What's discussed is to drop the driver
change in of_device_id.
