Yes, but serial/ (historically) contains drivers using serial_core. tty/
contains drivers using tty_driver (which all of three unfortunately do).
There was a patchset from Crescent Hsieh (Moxa) to convert mxser [1].
Amiserial should be likely converted too -- Amiga users still around?
There is no MAINTAINERS entry for Amiga, trying to CC m68k...
I am not sure even about users of Moxa Intellio. I think I prompted long
time ago. Oh yes, Ray Chen (CCed) from Moxa wrote me back in 2021:

For the Intellio cards, we phased them out in 2017.
You may find the discontinuance notification as attached.
We will keep the software support for 5 years, to 2023.

I believe we can mark it as BROKEN to let someone convert it to
serial_core. Or drop it for good already.
