On some chromebooks, the serdev is used to communicate with
an embedded controller. When the controller is updated, the
regular ttyS* is needed. Therefore unbind/bind needs to work
to be able to switch between the two modes without having to
reboot. In the case of ACPI enabled platforms, the underlying
serial device is marked as enumerated but this is not cleared
upon remove (unbind). In this state it can not be bound as
serdev.
