i'm very happy to see this patch series and i can't wait to adapt it for RPI Zero W.

This binding looks good to me, but please send it as a separate patch at first.

This also looks good, but this conflicts with the recent changes (which will be applied soon):

[PATCH v2] ARM: dts: bcm283x: Move the BCM2837 DT contents from arm64 to arm.
[PATCH V2 0/3] ARM: bcm283x: Raspberry Pi Zero W support

Last question: how about another patch to enable serdev support as module for arm64/defconfig?

Best regards
