    ACPI: x86: Add DELL0501 handling to acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration() · 99b572e6
    Hans de Goede authored
    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.
