This patch series aims to add serdev_device_id to the serdev drivers so as to support platform instantiation of a serdev device.The first two patches adding the serdev_device_id has already been once submitted by Ricardo Ribalda Delgado(in CC) here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180611115240.32606-1-ricardo.ribalda@xxxxxxxxx/ The problem currently trying to solved is bit different from dynamically loading/removing serdev devices as addressed in the original patch series, the aim now is to attach a serdev driver once to a device that is not a part of the device tree or the ACPI table, Eg. a device on a greybus created gbphy uart. The patches were tested with a set of uBlox GNSS Receiver Clicks on a PocketBeagle. The serdev_device_id table is exported only for a single driver(drivers/gnss/ubx.c) for reference.
