[ Upstream commit 4294625e029028854596865be401b9c5c1f906ef ]
The hci_bcm platform-device hack which was used to implement power management for ACPI devices is being replaced by a serial-device-bus implementation.
Unfortunately, when the corresponding change to the ACPI code lands (a change that will stop enumerating and registering the serial-device-node child as a platform device) PM will break silently unless serdev TTY-port controller support has been enabled. Specifically, hciattach (btattach) would still succeed, but power management would no longer work.
This one is not needed in stable, which does not have the above mentioned ACPI change [ e361d1f85855 ("ACPI / scan: Fix enumeration for special UART devices") ].
The Fixes and stable-CC tags were left out on purpose.
