Let's allow the userspace to find out the tty name for a serial core controller id if a tty exists. This can be done with: $ grep DEVNAME /sys/bus/serial-base/devices/port*/tty/uevent /sys/bus/serial-base/devices/port.00:04.0/tty/uevent:DEVNAME=ttyS0 /sys/bus/serial-base/devices/port.serial8250.1/tty/uevent:DEVNAME=ttyS1 /sys/bus/serial-base/devices/port.serial8250.2/tty/uevent:DEVNAME=ttyS2 /sys/bus/serial-base/devices/port.serial8250.3/tty/uevent:DEVNAME=ttyS3 And with this, we can add /dev/serial/by-id symlinks to the serial port device instances so we can start using serial core port addressing in addition to the legacy ttyS naming. The naming we can use is dev_name:0.0 where 0.0 are the serial core controller id and port id, so for the ttyS0 example above the naming would be 00:04.0:0.0.
