Try it and see. We can put it in -next for a while and then there will a release cycle duriing which any unfortunate clashes wil get resolved. Alternatively if it's a device attached to a specific platform create it as a platform device of some kind in the board specific code and pick that up in the serial driver. > Another thought could be to write 0xFF (or some other value) to the correct > EFR-register and read that byte to test if the register is present.

The trouble is an extra register may in fact be part of some other device - it's generally not a great idea if there are other choices.
