Actually support for QtSerialPort could be valid on non Jolla devices. For example if we get sailfishos going on BeagleBoard Black? or Android devices with USB OTG support...
But I can understand if Jolla does not prioritize this right now, but it should atleast be available as "extra repo" or in mer-core or something?
