The serdev support in hci_uart is rather hacking into old line discipline code and it is not aging well. It is really becoming a mess. > > I wanted to stay away from rewriting the BT code. But...

It would be preferable if this was a implementation-only change and that we kept the existing binding and existing dtb continued to work. Regards, Bjorn
