All this looks good to me. The serial driver changes should come
together with this one (usi driver is now a dependency for them). If I
am correct, mention this please in future cover letter (if there is such).

I will still need DTSI changes for Exynos Auto v9 and confirmation that
is not being used downstream and breaking DTB ABI is okay. Because this
will be a non-bisctable and also a DTB ABI break.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
