I'm missing a requirement for unique ID. If you have more than 1 board
connected to common host non-unique IDs prevent from working with the
boards. This mainly applies to automated testing labs/farms. Unique ID
should apply to UART and possibly other interfaces (MAC address,
fastboot, DFU, etc.). I'll send a PR for UART but I'm not sure where
the other IDs should be mentioned.
