See discussion below, but I would remove the SPI/I2C depends. And I
would rename SERIAL_SC16IS7XX to SERIAL_SC16IS7XX_CORE.

Ok, I found this example:
bf96f6e80cef ("iio: accel: kxsd9: Split out SPI transport")

In it, the SPI part doesn't select the core, but depends on it, similar
to what I have done. I find this approach more interesting for
embedded systems as you can enable/disable I2C or SPI part if you
need only one interface.

Ok, will add namespace support to all exports.

I was assuming that this file was for "struct device"?

Ok, will drop for V4.

Ok.

Isn't it provided by <linux/device.h> ?

Ok, I tried to follow it, I do think those 4 includes are required in
this file, no?

and maybe I can add <linux/string.h> for memcpy().

Ok.

Ok. Great, simplifies things.

Ok.
