    platform/x86: Add new get_serdev_controller() helper · dc5afd72
    Hans de Goede authored
    In some cases UART attached devices which require an in kernel driver,
    e.g. UART attached Bluetooth HCIs are described in the ACPI tables
    by an ACPI device with a broken or missing UartSerialBusV2() resource.
    
    This causes the kernel to create a /dev/ttyS# char-device for the UART
    instead of creating an in kernel serdev-controller + serdev-device pair
    for the in kernel driver.
    
    The quirk handling in acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration() makes the kernel
    create a serdev-controller device for these UARTs instead of a /dev/ttyS#.
    
    Instantiating the actual serdev-device to bind to is up to pdx86 code,
    so far this was handled by the x86-android-tablets code. But since
    commit b286f4e8 ("serial: core: Move tty and serdev to be children of
    serial core port device") the serdev-controller device has moved in the
    device hierarchy from (e.g.) /sys/devices/pci0000:00/8086228A:00/serial0 to
    /sys/devices/pci0000:00/8086228A:00/8086228A:00:0/8086228A:00:0.0/serial0 .
    
    This makes this a bit trickier to do and another driver is in the works
    which will also need this functionality.
    
    Add a new helper to get the serdev-controller device, so that the new
    code for this can be shared.
    
    Fixes: b286f4e8 ("serial: core: Move tty and serdev to be children of serial core port device")
