Add a README with a brief guide to porting serial drivers over to use driver model.
Add a timeline also. All serial drivers should be converted by the end of January 2016.

To avoid anyone missing out on this, I have added to Cc the all U-Boot maintainers using this:
(for f in $(find . -name MAINTAINERS); do grep ^M: $f; done) | \
awk '{$1=""; print "Series-cc:" $0}' |sort | uniqThis is about 229 email address, of which 217 seem to be different people.
Changes in v3:
- Fix the date to avoid time machine issues
Changes in v2:
- Copy the patch to all maintainers
- Move the timeline back to January

+About 16 of 33 serial drivers have been converted as at September 2015. It +is time for maintainers to start converting over the remaining serial drivers: +
- altera_jtag_uart.c
- altera_uart.c
These are probably already converted.
- arm_dcc.c
- lpc32xx_hsuart.c
- mcfuart.c
- mxs_auart.c
^ This system does not use DM at all.
- opencores_yanu.c
- serial_bfin.c
- serial_imx.c
DTTO
- serial_lpuart.c
- serial_max3100.c
- serial_pxa.c
DTTO
- serial_s3c24x0.c
DTTO
- serial_sa1100.c
This driver is probably dead code
- serial_stm32.c
- serial_xuartlite.c
- usbtty.c
+You should complete this by the end of January 2016.
So what do you suggest to do with boards which do not use DM at all ?
I'd say move them over...
That's not doable this late in the RC cycle though. I would suggest to postpone the date.
