This feels like creating obstacles and some new sort of requests that
contributor for hardware A has to come with answers about completely
different new hardware B, so please provide rationale for such request.

I see no reason why compatibility between bluetooth of WCN7850 and
WCN786x is relevant here. Even if I knew the compatibility or
differences between WCN7850 and new WCN786x, I cannot publicly speak
about them.

Devices will be different, they will have different compatibles, thus
you CANNOT have one DTS for both. What else - not my task, not my
expertise, not relevant to this submission.

Best regards,
