I have been looking for correct device name for serial smart card

like old so called Phoenix reader. Phoenix is de facto protocol used
for such readers and there is whole bunch of different RS232
(/dev/ttyS#) or USB-serial (/dev/ttyUSB#) readers using that
protocol.

Anyhow, that one is integrated to DVB USB device that is driven by
dvb_usb_anysee driver. As I understand, I need reserve new device
name and major number for my device. See Documentation/devices.txt

Why not just use the usb-serial core and then you get a ttyUSB* device
node "for free"?  It also should provide a lot of the basic tty
infrastructure and ring buffer logic all ready to use.

Since I don't see how I can access same platform data from DVB USB and USB-serial driver (usb_set_intfdata). I asked that earlier, see: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg36027.html
