Here's a new version of the serdev bus support with all the review feedback so far incorporated. I've left it named serdev for now pending any further votes one way or the other, but I did rename the sysfs visible portions to "serial". There's still some discussion about what to do with devices that pass thru data to userspace unmodified like GPS and could still use tty device for the data path. IMO, we should treat this as a separate problem following this series. Drivers we want to convert to serdev and already in the kernel don't need this functionality. I need a SoB from Alan on his patch 2 and would like review from Alan and/or Peter on the locking in patch 5. I have hacked up versions of the BT ldisc and TI ST drivers moved over to use the serdev bus. I have BT working on the HiKey board which has TI BT. With the serdev bus support, it eliminates the need for the TI userspace UIM daemon. I've made some progress cleaning up the TI-ST into proper patches and also got it working at 3Mbps. Changelog is in individual patches. Previous version is here[1]. This series and the mentioned drivers can be found here[2].
