Oh, I wasn't aware of the instantiation through ldisc and was actually
considering to *remove* some of the seemingly unnecessary serdev
checks.

In many cases the only field that is accessed is qcadev->btsoc_type. I
think something like 'qca_get_soc_type(struct hci_dev *hdev / struct
hci_uart *hu)' would make things more readable.

IMO the whole 'qcadev' vs 'qca(_data)' is confusing anyway, in this
sense even better if we can make most of the 'qcadev' references
disappear.

Thanks
