Hi Hans,

Now that ACPI and DT devices are both enumerated as serdevs, we
can
remove platform_device support and the bcm_device_list lookup
hack.

This also removes any races between suspend/resume and hci-uart
binding,
also making the suspend/resume code a lot simpler.

This commit leaves manually binding to an uart using btattach
supported
(without irq/gpio and thus suspend/resume support, as before).

so I was under the assumption platforms like Intel Edison still only
do platform data. See commit
212d71833315c65644efc46223db61dee7b3c68e. Has that changed?

Yes and no.

So, we need that support to satisfy users with classical Edison
firmware.

Ugh, I was not aware of that and the whole code to match the tty with
the platform_device on btattach is such a mess and I was actually
quite
happy to be able to delete this.

Good idea.

Andy, I see that you added support for bcm bluetooth over a tty using
platform_data instead of ACPI enumeration. Can you change the code
instantiating the device to instead instantiate a serdev, so that we
kill the platform device support in hci_bcm.c and so that users don't
need to do a btattach, but instead the kernel will do the attach
itself
and things will just work ?

I'm sorry, I can't do this soon, other more priority tasks in a pocket.

The instantiation of the driver is happened in arch/x86/platform/intel-
mid/device_libs/platform_bt.c

I would help with review of any patches till I would able to look at it
myself.

If I manage to come up with patches do you have hardware and time to
test?

First point of order to get this working as serdev I think is to
modify drivers/tty/serdev/core.c a and then the serdev_controller_add()
function to somehow recognize the serial port in question, so
something akin to the of_serdev_register_devices(ctrl) /
acpi_serdev_register_devices(ctrl) functions for platform_devs, assuming
the tty-parent-dev on the Edison SOM is a platform_dev ?

Anyways it looks like this will be really hard to do without access
to the hardware.

Regards,

Hans
