Commit Message

Commit e361d1f85855 ("ACPI / scan: Fix enumeration for special UART
devices") caused a regression with some X-Gene based platforms (Mustang
and M400) with invalid DSDT. The DSDT makes it appear that the UART
device is also a slave device attached to itself. With the above commit
the UART won't be enumerated by ACPI scan (slave serial devices shouldn't
be). So check for X-Gene UART device and skip slace device check on it.

I'm not convinced that making changes to the core ACPI device
enumeration code in order to cover up for firmware bugs is the right
approach.

Is the device ID never to be used outside of the broken configurations?

Even if that's the plan, how are you going to guarantee that anyway?
