As with usual devicetree based solution we can add additional
compatibles to better describe a variant or quirk which should be used
to convert raw data to the serial number in usable for environment and
device tree way. I hope, by having generic drivers other users will alight
with it by making new products or extend existing driver by mainlining
existing products.
