i dont see how those things are related. the major/minor are
irrelevant, unless you've already hard coded these in some app that
creates device nodes manually (instead of mdev/udev), but even then
that's something that "needs to be run on the target". and both
already have config support to transparently do something like
"symlink ttyS# to XXX" as XXX is created.
