It does - now devices are named /dev/s3c2410_serial, and patch changes
its name to /dev/ttySAC

I wonder if it'd make sense to name them ttyS[0-9]. I've never
understood why the platform standard fixed serial ports on any device
should have a different name.

It's called namespace.  If platform serial ports are different, then
they have to have a separate namespace otherwise things like
console= end up having to have a separate namespace from the one
which the user sees in the filesystem.

Moreover, you introduce a bunch of special cases into the 8250 serial
driver - or you simply exclude the 8250 serial driver being used on a
platform.
