[PATCH v2 0/9] Serial slave device bus

[Rob Herring]

Here's a new version of the serdev bus support with all the review
feedback so far incorporated. I've left it named serdev for now pending
any further votes one way or the other, but I did rename the sysfs visible
portions to "serial".

There's still some discussion about what to do with devices that pass thru
data to userspace unmodified like GPS and could still use tty device for
the data path. IMO, we should treat this as a separate problem following
this series. Drivers we want to convert to serdev and already in the
kernel don't need this functionality.

I need a SoB from Alan on his patch 2 and would like review from Alan and/or
Peter on the locking in patch 5.

I have hacked up versions of the BT ldisc and TI ST drivers moved over to
use the serdev bus. I have BT working on the HiKey board which has TI BT.
With the serdev bus support, it eliminates the need for the TI userspace
UIM daemon. I've made some progress cleaning up the TI-ST into proper
patches and also got it working at 3Mbps.

Changelog is in individual patches. Previous version is here[1]. This
series and the mentioned drivers can be found here[2].
