It's more natural to implement rpmsg uart on top of tty core instead
of serial layer, since:
1.Serial layer model the hardware which can just send the data one by one
2.But rpmsg could send a buffer(max 512B) in one packet
On the other hand, it's very easy to support serbus by replace
tty_port_register_device_attr to tty_port_register_device_attr_serdev.
