Convert greybus/uart.c from IDR to XArray. The abstract data type XArray
is more memory-efficient, parallelisable, and cache friendly. It takes
advantage of RCU to perform lookups without locking. Furthermore, IDR is
deprecated because XArray has a better (cleaner and more consistent) API.
I haven't verified the use of the new API (yet) but I have a few
comments on your patch, below.

Dear Alex,

On August 16th I submitted the v3 of my patch ("staging: greybus: Convert uart.c 
from IDR to XArray"), with changes based on the comments you provided.
Yes, I intend to review version 3.  I'm sorry I didn't respond to
your earlier message; I am on vacation this week.

Oh, there's no hurry, sorry to bother you while on vacation.
Even kernel hackers deserve a vacation at least once a year or two... :-)

Thanks,

Fabio

Could you please take a few minutes to review this too? I would really appreciate it.

The v3 patch is at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210816195000.736-1-fmdefrancesco@gmail.com/ (local)

Thanks,

Fabio

P.S.: I'd also like to know if you think it's worth converting IDA to XArray in order 
to improve the Greybus driver in staging.
