PR #118 provides the option to omit serial as a dependency, but this change is not present in a released version of the crate (0.4.1 to date).
This is important because the serial feature allows a crate user to omit serialport, which is licensed as MPL-2.0, and can be problematic in some situations as it's less permissive than the MIT/Apache licenses used by this project itself.
For now, it is possible to include linux-embedded-hal as a linux-embedded-hal = { git = "...", rev = "...", default-features = false } dependency in Cargo.toml, avoiding aerialport, but it would be smoother if a new release containing the serial feature was created at some stage, please.
