    Well it doesn't use a new major, does it?

    +#define DEVICE_MAJOR 204
    +#define DEVICE_MINOR 40

    Which is:

    204 char Low-density serial ports
                      0 = /dev/ttyLU0 LinkUp Systems L72xx UART - port 0
                        ...
                     32 = /dev/ttyDB0 DataBooster serial port 0
                        ...
                     39 = /dev/ttyDB7 DataBooster serial port 7

    205 char Low-density serial ports (alternate device)

    which seems reasonable, I suppose, but a patch to devices.txt is needed
    please.
