[PATCH 0/4] serdev: fix broken lifetime assumptions

[Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>]

This series fixes a number of issues with the new serdev code, which was
based on incorrect tty-port lifetime assumptions.

The first patch disables serdev support by reverting the patch which
hooked into the tty layer in a broken way that leads to crashes and
leaks when deregistering devices. This one should probably go into 4.11.

The second patch fixes a specific bug in the tty-port client
registration code, while the third patch adds a new interface for
registering serdev devices. The final patch ultimately enables serdev
again for the serial drivers.

More details can be found in the individual commit messages.
