+description: 
+  Generic MIDI interface using a serial device. This denotes that a serial device is
+  dedicated to MIDI communication, either to an external MIDI device through a DIN5
+  or other connector, or to a known hardwired MIDI controller. This device must be a
+  child node of a serial node.
+
+  Can only be set to use standard baud rates corresponding to supported rates of the
+  parent serial device. If the standard MIDI baud of 31.25 kBaud is needed 
+  (as would be the case if interfacing with arbitrary external MIDI devices),
+  configure the clocks of the parent serial device so that a requested baud of 38.4 kBaud
+  resuts in the standard MIDI baud rate, and set the 'current-speed' property to 38400.
+
+properties:
+  compatible:
+    const: serialmidi
+
+  current-speed:
+    $ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/uint32
+    description: Baudrate to set the serial port to when this MIDI device is opened.
+      If not specified, the parent serial device is allowed to use its default baud.

+examples:

+    serial {
+        midi {
+            compatible = "serialmidi";
+            current-speed = <38400>;
+        };
+    };
