It's not me, that came up with the term, Nokia called their protocol
H4+ (for DT people not familiar with bluetooth - the standard
bluetooth UART protocol is named H4). I agree, that H4+ is
ambiguous, but with the "nokia," prefix it should be clear what
protocol is meant. I don't really mind, though. We can also just
list the individual chips and add all compatible strings to the
driver.
FWIW I remove the term from the driver leaving only a single
instance in the header ("AKA H4+").

I think drivers, that need extra resources (like GPIOs) can switch to
serdev exclusively. The kernel needs ACPI/DT/boardcode data for those
devices anyways.
Iirc Rob is working on serdev patches for Broadcom and TI BT, so he may
provide more information.
