AFAIK device names are not part of LSB. You would have to sign up to

Unix-like systems go to great lengths to make device access identical to
files (except
for Linux's odd treatment of the network devices which bypasses the
usual access
control mechanism in open()). Any argument that file names and paths
should be
standardized should automatically apply to devices because of the philosophy
that "everything's a file".
