Hi Andy and Joe,
I met a Checkpatch warning issue for ath12k wifi node:
./scripts/checkpatch.pl arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sm8750-mtp.dts
WARNING: DT compatible string vendor "pci17cb" appears un-documented --
check ./Documentation/devicetree/bindings/vendor-prefixes.yaml#1026:
FILE: arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sm8750-mtp.dts:1026:
+ compatible = "pci17cb,1107";
total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 1275 lines checked
NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or
--fix-inplace.
arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sm8750-mtp.dts has style problems, please review.
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
All dts files which contain (compatible = "pci17cb,1107"; ) met this
warning. But in fact this DT compatible string is already defined in
devicetree/bindings/net/wireless/qcom,ath12k.yaml
I raised a new change review
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251210032817.1264850-1-yingying.tang@oss.qualcomm.com,
it also met this issue.
Could please help to resolve this issue, thanks very much
