I think this has yet to be proven to be a kernel driver at all at this
point, and not just a userspace daemon that listens to the serial port
and then does what is needed from there :)

Or, if someone can prove that the operations on this serial data stream
actually do require it to be in the kernel (which I have yet to see a
list of what this connection does, did I miss it?) then a single driver,
under the drivers/platform section of the kernel tree makes sense.
