I don't know what the current policy is on allocating major/minor numbers,
but I'm sure you cannot just reuse one that is already used.
I agree, why are you trying to create a new tty device name?  Can't you
use the existing ttyS name and minor number as you will not have any
other type of serial device on this system?
Greg on ST STB for more than 10 years we use ttyASC I'll prefer ttySx
For 10+ years you have had an out-of-tree serial driver?  What
major/minor numbers did you use for it?
on the DTB SoC you have one one IP present the st,asc
I don't understand, what do you mean by this?

confused,
