Darius patch is a little bit cleaner.
OK, it's better.

Hi all,

I think, this should be handled by Ben Dooks....
As Kyungmin Park said, there was his comment about this.
Ben, what's your opinion about that? Are you going to merge that?
This is just for your information....

Thd dev_name and driver_name should be switched each other.
Hmm, this doesn't seem to have appeard on the linux-arm-kernel list yet.

Please provide some information about what problem that this is fixing
and the impact on any existing systems.
The serial device nodes are created to s3c2410_serial* on android
platform instead of ttySAC*.
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.
