[PATCH RFC 1/4] serdev: Export internal is_serdev_device() for drivers

[Markus Probst]

From: Kari Argillander <kari.argillander@xxxxxxxxx>

The serdev core has an internal is_serdev_device() helper, but it was
not accessible to drivers. Make it public by declaring it in serdev.h
and exporting the symbol so that modular serdev drivers can rely on it
instead of duplicating type checks.

This allows example future Rust serdev abstraction to have

    TryFrom<&device::Device<Ctx>> for &serdev::Device<Ctx>

That way using bus is easy for other substystems. Also some other
subsystems expose similar function:

  - bool is_usb_device(const struct device *dev)
  - bool dev_is_pci(const struct device *dev)
