TBH, I don't particularly like the new naming.

Namely, the "bus" part seems overly generic (and the "bmi"
abbreviation brings something totally different to mind).

AFAICS this can cover serial interfaces only and specifically the ones
where serial links can be represented as resources returned by the
ACPI _CRS object.

I would call it serial-multi-instance or similar.
