Indeed I've been using Katsuhiro's patch from ages ago:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rockchip/20190321162244.10080-1-katsuhiro@katsuster.net/

Heiko - as far as I'm aware pl330 still isn't hooked up to virt-dma; I 
think the core change to avoid using DMA for the console UART has merely 
mitigated the issue by leaving just enough channels available for "most" 
use-cases.

FWIW, with a functioning 5.14 kernel back on my board (5.15-rc4 couldn't 
even boot due to eMMC issues), nothing stands out except the lack of 
errors. However, looking again at said errors and digging in to 
bcm_set_baudrate(), it looks like it's actually the module itself being 
unhappy about the special command to update *its* clock, which then 
prevents the host baud rate from being changed from its initial 115200. 
The internet leads me to believe that BCM4345C5 is BCM43455 which is now 
CYW43555 whose datasheet says "UART baud rates up to 4 Mbps", so 
whatever the issue is it looks to be beyond the limit of my knowledge.

Poking around hci_bcm to see if there's any notable difference between 
the modules, I spotted commit e601daed271e mentioning issues with 
AP6256, so I wonder if using the "brcm,bcm4345c5" compatible as an 
override in the M4B DTS makes any difference?

If not, now that things seem to make a bit more sense it might be 
reasonable to tweak the speed for M4B as a workaround to avoid sending 
the offending command (since AP6356S as used on the other variants seems 
unaffected), unless Bluetooth people can shed any more light on why the 
module is unhappy about it.

Cheers,
Robin.
