Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] platform/x86: dell-uart-backlight: Bind through normal serdev matching
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 17:21:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021092124.2306053-2-an.wu@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021092124.2306053-1-an.wu@canonical.com>

The driver creates a serdev client without firmware metadata and
force-attaches its driver.

Set its name before adding it so the serdev core can match the driver
normally, then remove the manual attachment.
