[Bala]:
     From my experience of serdev and ldisc, I prefer to go as MTK, here 
are the reasons
     1.If btuart maintains same generic way as hci_serdev, hardware 
vendors will not have control on of
       port opening and close. Because qca want to close port when we do 
hci down where as hci_serdev it is not possible to do.
       This is an important feature for power saving of the device.
    2. I think btuart will have common recv_handle to handle all the 
received data irrespective to the vendors.
       but in our case,  we will receive debug logs as ACL packet which 
is not possible to bypass as diagnostic packet.

      The same with the susb system restart events too. So, I feel that 
having an different driver as same as MTK will help us.
