How about (reads a bit easier to me, but I'm not a
native speaker):
Such a device may need its own driver, e.g. for powering
it up on tty open and powering it down on tty release.

maybe make this into its own device class instead of making
it a platform device?

this could be handled by the tty core if a custom tty slave device
class is used (similar to spi_device for spi slaves or i2c_client
for i2c slaves).

Drop the Linux specific bits and add the requirement of a compatible
value here. Suggestion:
Optional child node:
A slave device connected to the serial port. It must contain at
least a compatible property with a name string following generic
names recommended practice.

Something like the following would be really useful for remote
devices, that can/must be woken up from idle states via an GPIO
(e.g. the bluetooth chip from the Nokia N900):
/* 'write' is called when data should be sent to the remote device */
void (*write)(struct device *slave, struct tty_struct *tty);
The same kind of GPIO exists for waking up the host's UART chip from
idle, but that can simply be implemented by incrementing the runtime
usage of the tty_slave's parent device :)
