Should that be made a permanent patch then?

I saw this same warning/problem in my out-of-tree drivers when the
"TTY_DRIVER_NO_DEVFS" flag went away somewhere between 2.6.17 and
2.6.18.

You need to change this line:

isicom_normal->flags = TTY_DRIVER_REAL_RAW;

To:

isicom_normal->flags = TTY_DRIVER_REAL_RAW |
TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV;

In the "drivers/char/isicom.c" file.
