Describe the problem

When I have two Arduino Nano ESP32's attached to my Mac, I am unable to upload via arduino-cli upload. The dfu-util cannot figure out which device is which without a --serial argument and I cannot seem to supply one.

To reproduce

I have two Nano ESP32s attached to my mac. Attempting to upload to one via the -p parameter leaves dfu-util confused.

dfu-util: More than one DFU capable USB device found! Try `--list' and specify the serial number or disconnect all but one device

Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 74

Expected behavior

Ideally, upload could handle this or dfu-util could. If handling this magically is too difficult, allow users to pass arbitrary arguments to dfu-util or at least support a --seralno argument and pass that down as --serial.
