I am surprised to not find myself on CC. I only look loosly on the
linux-serial mailing list, so please add me to CC.

This patch will be redundant once
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-serial/20260930-rust_serdev_probe_refactor-v3-4-d1b6e77135e0@xxxxxxxxx/
get merged. Not sure if it gets merged this cycle though.

Also I am not sure on which base this should be applied to?
Applying to v7.3-rc6 or next-20261009 fails.

Thanks
