you are papering over the issue. Actually hci_serdev.c:hci_uart_register_device() is the culprit with the legacy code copied over from hci_ldisc.c:hci_uart_register_dev(). I think there is no point doing all this legacy line discipline quirk handling until it is really needed. The serdev drivers are all for recent hardware.

That said, having moved over to a btuart.c approach and killed the whole hci_serdev.c thing would have been a lot better here. You will keep running in weird situations where 18 year old code keeps surprising you.

Regards

Marcel
