Ok I had a brief dig
Making a driver able to say "and open me in this ldisc" is about ten lines of code to the core tty layer if that.
There is one caveat - the actual ldisc attach method for an ldisc attach isn't allowed to fail the attach. That's something we eventually need to fix anyway.
Otherwise it doesn't look too scary and it would occur when the user opened the file not when the device was created.
