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
