that is something that we might need to start fixing. I really prefer if we 
name the GPIOs a bit more consistent.

That is not a reason I buy. So the next board comes around that labels it in 
the data sheet BT_DISABLE_YEAH_SUPER_GREAT and you send me a patch to the 
driver to look for that name. If the GPIO does the same thing, I couldn’t care 
less what the data sheet says. That might be a comment in the DT file, but it 
should not pollute the driver code.

A new board should not require driver changes, you just ship a new DT for that 
board and an existing driver hopefully just does the job. No matter how someone 
named a GPIO in a piece of paper.

Regards

Marcel
