so this one I can see real use of and is a good fix to finally clean up hci_bcm.c and remove platform support for the Edison hardware. However, I would really then first rename hci_uart_bcm into some Edison specific string since this is really just one outlier here. Everything else will have ACPI or DT support.

With that said, I do not understand why we need to duplicate the DT compatible strings in serdev_device_id. They will be enumerated fine via ACPI or DT in the first place. So if we want some new_id support, then wouldnât an empty serdev_device_id table just be fine?
