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.

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.
