Yes, otherwise the bus can be built as a module and this driver can
still be enabled breaking the build. I could drop supporting building
the bus as a module because as long as this is the only controller
driver, it all has to be built-in. Is there any desire/plan to make
the TTY layer buildable as a module?

I believe it should be fine. This is essentially what all the wakeup
callbacks do for the ldisc based drivers.

Yes, fixed. We should only have the matching details in the core.

Converted to dev_info().

I don't get the question. ctrl and serport can be NULL here so the
caller can call this unconditionally.
