Are you sure you need Linux there? There is a nice Zephyr project
(OpenSource RTOS, POSIX compatible) exactly for microcontrollers.

While I can agree on making Linux stuff less fatty, I can't agree on
doing this way. We have for now two subsystems to serve for serial
devices, you are proposing third one for only narrow class of devices.
