The binding should be specfic to the device. Trying to do a generic
binding like this doesn't scale well. Do a specific binding for the
bluetooth chipset and make that driver understand how to do PM
operations on that device. That way each kind of tty slave device driver
can have its own set of PM mechanism which may be completely different.

Another thought, what if I *don't* want the device to be powered
merely because the uart is opened?

Instead of creating a full driver that binds against the device, would
it not be better to provide a library of stock PM operations that other
device drivers (like the bluetooth driver) can use as-is instead of
defining its own?
