I check the uart device with Exynos5433 SoC based on Linux 4.0-rc1
If some board use the serial_0 and serial_3 as following in board dtsi,

	&serial_0 {		--> UART 0 device
		status = "okay";
	};

	&serial_3 {		--> UART 3 device
		status = "okay";
	};

The serial core driver create the follwoing /dev/ttySACx device node
by using the number of alias. It maintain the same device number of internel to the SoC.

	root@localhost:~# ls /dev/ttySAC
	ttySAC1  ttySAC3  

Thanks,
Chanwoo Choi
