I'm sorry. I didn't explain it clearly.
Board design should be optimized for specific use cases: use the
standalone mode for high-speed, stable, and Bluetooth-only applications;
opt for the coexistence mode in cost-sensitive scenarios with lower
performance demands. Once the hardware is determined, the user needs to
configure the working mode of the firmware.

The board design determines whether to enable this property.
Well, I know I should clearly describe why this property is enabled
here, so I modify it as follows:
aml,coexisting:
type: boolean
description: Enable co-existence mode on boards sharing antennas
with Wi-Fi.
