Serial Ports being overwritten inside utilities.py

[GeorgSavic-Baumzwiebel]

The Usage of .grep() in this Context results in a non deterministic approach to finding the Serial Port.

netmiko/netmiko/utilities.py

Line 264 in fa15b53

cdc = next(serial.tools.list_ports.grep(name))

for example if I want to access Port COM9 it will overwrite it to COM99. The same thing can be observed with COM11 and COM111 as Windows doesn't sort the Serial Ports by their numerical value. I have not found a solution to this Problem but I don't think it is needed to run the function when the Port is clearly matching the guidelines of how a serial Port should be named.
