Hi,

this small and IMHO self explaining patch changes /dev/ttySxx
registering order to make it more convinent.

Here is an example (it is my home computer). Serial driver output
without this patch:

ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
ttyS04 at port 0xf600 (irq = 9) is a 16550A
ttyS02 at port 0x03e8 (irq = 5) is a 16550A

Looks strange, ttyS00, ttyS01 then ttyS04 and then ttyS02
(ttyS04 - ISA PnP modem, ttyS02 - PCI serial card).

And serial driver output with this patch applied:

ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
ttyS02 at port 0xf600 (irq = 9) is a 16550A
ttyS03 at port 0x03e8 (irq = 5) is a 16550A

Second one is more convinent isn't it ?

Best wishes,
        Andrey
