Can you try using 8250_dw.ko driver and see if it binds to it and you get a new serial port. If I am correct then you have to run H:5 UART transport protocol to enable Bluetooth for this device. Please double check that this ACPI tables really wrongly declare this as a Broadcom chip. This seems to be a firmware bug then. Unfortunately I think that for Broadcom you run H:4 UART transport protocol and for Realtek you have to run H:5 UART transport protocol. So no idea how to nicely differentiate these.
