It'd say no need to: the discussion with linux-kernel will be about tty
stuff. Next to the MKDEV line you can put a "TODO: support more than
ttyS*" to make it clear that we'll work on it after that.

The idea is that the discussion with linux-kernel will probably take
some time, during which you'll probably have the time to implement it,
and we can push that after (or probably within the late iterations of
pushing to linux-kernel).
