This has been how they've been for ages, surely the android device node creation sytstem supports symlinking /dev/SACx -> /dev/s3c2410_serialx, like many other operating sysyerms that can already do this. Changing this just because android (something as-yet unmerged into mainline) does not like it. I'm not even happy with an #ifdef around this. If you really feel this is a problem that you absolutely must fix in kernel then please provide a kernel commandline option to change the serial driver name and use that on any platform that needs it. Another way would be to update the serial platform data to have a field for which name to choose. -- Ben Q: What's a light-year?
