Comment(by psonek):

 They are created ok, but under different names:

 /dev/s3c2410_serial2
 /dev/s3c2410_serial1
 /dev/s3c2410_serial0

 Question is if we should fix this in kernel (patch attached) or in
 userspace.

 Kernel is better because most of existing docs on internet 36000/16000 use
 ttySAC names. Also kernel size reduces a bit (like 10 bytes? ;-)

 But if kernel patch breaks some system (maybe android?) we should fix our
 userspaces.

 You can also cherry pick this commit:
