It's wired to the various inputs of the ACT8600 chip. The driver will
complain if they are not connected to anything. And while we're at it,
it will also silence the v(q)mmc-supply warnings, yes.

The badly named "bt_power" regulator powers on the chip, while the
"wifi_io" regulator controls the voltage on the VDDIO pins. So these
are enabled/disabled when needed.

The chip has a different name so we can't guarantee that it works
exactly like the BCM4330. So that was my reason behind using a new
compatible string with a fallback.

However I sent a patch to add the new compatible string to the
documentation and it got refused and I was told to just use the
brcm,bcm4330-fmac, so I'll just do that.

Sure, does that work though?

One (unrelated) note about Bluetooth, I didn't get it to work properly;
it works enough to detect my keyboard and allow me to pair with it
(typing the password on the BT keyboard) but it will never connect
properly after that.

Actually the node names should use as much as possible the generic
names specified in the devicetree specification
(https://www.devicetree.org/specifications/) and "wifi" is one of
those.

I test with the OpenDingux userspace so my defconfig is probably very
different from yours. What are you using?

About the crash: make sure you have the *very* latest WiFi firmware
from
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/

I do remember that one particular version of the firmware will crash
the kernel. You also don't need the .hcd firmware for Bluetooth to
(somewhat) work.
