Hi,
I'm just wondering why device nodes of some serial drivers (mostly when arch != x86) are not always named "ttyS[:digit:]" ?
For example, I have a ARM based platform which has a serial device node named "ttymxc0".
I don't see any advantages to do this but only require one to handle special cases since most applications expect the ttyS* name.
Thanks -- Francis
