I'd shoot that down, too. Using udev in an embedded, reliable environment is very troublesome. Although, products I've developed using more than 4 UARTs had some custom /dev work done to it just to get everything mapped. My only concern is we don't add a new range for QE UARTs, that we use the same minors for both CPM and QE.
Thanks.
