Yep. All the links, link, serializer and alias nodes/properties are new
things here, and I guess these could be used by other deser-ser systems.
That said, I don't have any experience with other systems.

Perhaps...

I was also thinking that the serializer addresses could be taken from
the i2c-alias-pool. But maybe that's not a good idea, as the
serializer-access and remote-peripheral-access are a bit different (e.g.
no ATR when accessing the serializer).

And I was thinking that, at least here, the alias addresses can be
"anything", so they could be reserved dynamically at runtime, without
any predefined aliases. But that might be a bit confusing to the user.
