** Description changed:

  Support Intel Atom (Baytrail-I) HS-UART serdev slaves over tty
  
  On systems using Intel Atom (Baytrail-I) SoC's, slave devices connected on
  HSUART1/2 ports are described by the ACPI BIOS as virtual hardware using
  HID's INT3511/INT3512 [1].
  
  As a consequence, HW manufacturers have complete freedom to install any
  devices on-board as long as they can be accessed over serial tty
  interface. Once such device is Dell Edge 3002 IoT Gateway which sports
  ZigBee & GPS devices on the HS-UART ports 1 & 2 respectively.
  
  Post 4.15, with CONFIG_SERIAL_DEV_BUS=y, serdev port controller driver
  handles the enumeration for the slaves connected on these ports. Also,
  /dev/ttySx device nodes for these ports are no longer exposed to the
  userspace.
  
+ This driver has been submitted upstream and is under review. This issue has
+ been identified as a regression in 4.15 and multiple solutions are being
+ explored. Meanwhile, to support customer and maintain release schedule,
+ this driver needs to be in Ubuntu 4.15 based kernels.
+ 
+ The impact is limited to systems based on Intel Atom E38XX (Baytrail-I)
+ SoC's.

  Please don't triage, this bug is for tracking purposes only.
