Subject: [PATCH v2 07/10] serdev: Do not return -ENODEV from
 of_serdev_register_devices() if external connector is used

From: Manivannan Sadhasivam <manivannan.sadhasivam@....qualcomm.com>

If an external connector like M.2 is connected to the serdev controller
in DT, then the serdev devices may be created dynamically by the connector
driver. So do not return -ENODEV from of_serdev_register_devices() if the
static nodes are not found and the graph node is used.
