Ok.
Imagine you have two chips, one is the cpu and the other one is a device
which needs to be configured, accessed, talked to via uart.
The both chips are hardwired via uart.
Now I want to communicate from the kernel module with the device.
let the device be a RTC Device which has a UART interface.

And I don't want to rewrite all the uart device stuff of the cpu uart
device.

As a i2c client doesn't implement master_xfer or whatever the transfer
methods are called in the i2c controller module.
It just does a i2c->write(reg, value) and I need something equivalent
like uart->send(data, len); and uart->handle_recieved =
my_recieved_data_handler;

Something like that.
Hope this explains it better!

As far as I currently understood, this would be a line discipline.

Cheers,
Thilo
