Hi Hans,
Make the serdev driver use struct bcm_device as its driver data and share
all the pm / GPIO / IRQ related code paths with the platform driver.
After this commit the 2 drivers are in essence the same and the serdev
driver interface can be used for all ACPI enumerated HCI UARTs.

Excellent, thank you!
Nice work here, Hans, allowing serdev to coexist with the
platform-device hacks until the transition is complete and those hacks
can finally be removed.
So I guess this means we can also move forward with getting
the 2 patches from Frédéric Danis merged ? There is a bit
of a bisect-ability problem there, if the acpi pull-req
gets merged first then uart attached bcm bt will stop
working until the bluetooth subsys is also merged.
But I don't think this will impact a lot of users
(also given the need for a manual btattach so far),
so I don't think this is a big problem... ?
I wonder if we should just do this as all-in-one change for 4.15
kernel. We surely can get the ACPI changes into 4.15 and the Bluetooth
changes as well. Then it should just work.
However, there are of course a couple of caveats. Once Frederic's ACPI
patches land, there will be no more platform child devices. Unless
serdev support is then compiled in, this means that PM will break
(silently). And if serdev is enabled, of course the tty class device is
gone and hciattach (btattach) will fail, but I guess everyone is aware
of that issue by now.
Should BT_HCIUART_BCM start depending on SERIAL_DEV_CTRL_TTYPORT (when
ACPI is enabled) to avoid such silent breakage once ACPI-support is
merged?
It seems that this was answered already in further discussions and
your recent patch to add a default y to SERIAL_DEV_CTRL_TTYPORT fixes
this, right ?
Regards,
Hans
