Hi Stefan,

>>> Add BCM43438 (bluetooth) as a serdev slave device of uart0 (pl011/ttyAMA0).
>>> This allows to automatically insert the bcm43438 to the bluetooth
>>> subsystem instead of relying on patched userspace helpers (hciattach).
>>> 
>>> In order to keep a debug UART we need to switch to uart1.

awesome. That is good news.

Since you said that the GPIO expander driver for the RPi 3 has been accepted, did you test it there as well? If so, then it would be good to get a patch that also provides shutdown-gpios for RPi 3.
