From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 99b572e6136eab69a8c91d72cf8595b256e304b5 ] Some recent(ish) Dell AIO devices have a backlight controller board connected to an UART. This UART has a DELL0501 HID with CID set to PNP0501 so that the UART is still handled by 8250_pnp.c. Unfortunately there is no separate ACPI device with an UartSerialBusV2() resource to model the backlight-controller. This causes the kernel to create a /dev/ttyS0 char-device for the UART instead of creating an in kernel serdev-controller + serdev-device pair for a kernel backlight driver. Use the existing acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration() mechanism to work around this by returning skip=true for tty-ctrl parents with a HID of DELL0501. Like other cases where the UartSerialBusV2() resource is missing or broken this will only create the serdev-controller device and the serdev-device itself will need to be instantiated by platform code. Unfortunately in this case there is no device for the platform-code instantiating the serdev-device to bind to. So also create a platform_device for this.
