Public bug reported:

Support Intel Atom (Baytrail-I) HS-UART serdev slaves over tty

On systems using Intel Atom (Baytrail-I) SoC's, slave devices connected on
HSUART1/2 ports are described by the ACPI BIOS as virtual hardware using
HID's INT3511/INT3512 [1].

As a consequence, HW manufacturers have complete freedom to install any
devices on-board as long as they can be accessed over serial tty
interface. Once such device is Dell Edge 3002 IoT Gateway which sports
ZigBee & GPS devices on the HS-UART ports 1 & 2 respectively.

Post 4.15, with CONFIG_SERIAL_DEV_BUS=y, serdev port controller driver
handles the enumeration for the slaves connected on these ports. Also,
/dev/ttySx device nodes for these ports are no longer exposed to the
userspace.

Please don't triage, this bug is for tracking purposes only.
