If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hans de Goede [ Upstream commit 7d09995dcb0577b4a56aad7f2bb56f28604e8f1a ] ACPI enumerated serdev-controllers do not have an ACPI companion, the ACPI companion belongs to the serdev-device child of the serdev-controller, not to the controller itself. This was causing serdev_uevent to always return -ENODEV when called on a serdev-controller leading to errors like these: kernel: serial serial0: uevent: failed to send synthetic uevent being logged. This commit modifies serdev_uevent to directly return 0 when called on an ACPI enumerated serdev-controller fixing this. Note: I do not think that setting a modalias on a devicetree enumerated serdev-controller makes sense either. So perhaps the !dev->of_node part of the check can be dropped too, but I'm not entirely sure that doing this on devicetree too is correct.
