This path adds a serdev driver for communicating to a BNO055 IMU via
serial bus, and it enables the BNO055 core driver to work in this
scenario.

Hi Andrea

A few really trivial things in here from me.

Via a bit of grepping I can see other instances of this pattern which point out
that it's to do with allowing the tracing framework to see trace.h.
Perhaps a similar comment here would be good (if nothing else I doubt I'll
remember why this magic is here in a few years time!)

Locks need documentation to say what scope they cover. In this case
I think it is most but not quite all of this structure.

Wrap the line after dev,
Whilst it'll still be a very long line we can make it shorter with no loss
of readability, whilst still not breaking the string (which would make it hard
to grep for).

I argued with myself a bit on whether the complete() should be inside the lock
or not - but then concluded it doesn't really matter and moving it out is
probably premature optimisation... Maybe it's worth moving it out simply
so that it's clear the lock isn't needed to protect it, or am I missing something?

Trivial, but this blank line doesn't add anything so drop it.

Can be done better way, see dwc3 or drivers/base/ trace point implementations.

May you elaborate, please? It appears that both dwc3 and driver/base
use this same trick of tweaking the CFLAGS in the Makefile in order to
fix the header file thing. What I see is different is that they both
use an (almost empty) trace.c file. Is this what you are suggesting?

There are two differences in your code:
1) no separate c module, which...
2) is built depending on CONFIG_TRACE.

Hence, no need to have a separate ugly config option.

I admit my comments here are awkward: I've put a couple of comment
that indicate what doesn't need the lock.. I'll change to do the
reverse (comment on what need the lock)

It should make no real difference to move the complete() out of the lock.

I think I put it inside the lock because of the (paranoid, and
hopefully not really required - would mean we have been too strict
with completion timeout) reinit_completion(). On serdev rx handler
side (i.e. bno055_ser_handle_rx()) we clear expect_response and
complete(), on the other side (bno055_ser_send_cmd()) we set
expect_response and clear spurious completed state, before issuing the
command and waiting for outcome. This looks symmetric, but those two
shouldn't really race in practice.

+ * 2) If we send 4 bytes per time (i.e. the full header), then the IMU could
+ *    overflow, but it seem to sink all 4 bytes, then it returns error.
+ * 3) If we send more than 4 bytes, the IMU could overflow, and I saw it sending
+ *    error after 4 bytes are sent; we have troubles in synchronizing again,
+ *    because we are still sending data, and the IMU interprets it as the 1st
+ *    byte of a new command.
+ *
+ * While we must avoid case 3, we could send 4 bytes per time and eventually
+ * retry in case of failure; this seemed convenient for reads (which requires
+ * TXing exactly 4 bytes), however it has been seen that, depending by the IMU
+ * settings (e.g. LPF), failures became less or more frequent; in certain IMU
+ * configurations they are very rare, but in certain others we keeps failing
+ * even after like 30 retries.
+ *
+ * So, we just split TXes in [2-bytes + delay] steps, and still keep an eye on
+ * the IMU response; in case it overflows (which is now unlikely), we retry.
