What are you trying to achieve and where are you trying to get. If you
want better info for the tty layer then get the new info working in
sysfs first. Then when people are generally using sysfs you can worry
about cleaning up/removing/breaking the old stuff.
Before the change /proc/tty/drivers shows this:
[jonsmirl@jonsmirl ~]$ cat /proc/tty/drivers
/dev/tty /dev/tty 5 0 system:/dev/tty
/dev/console /dev/console 5 1 system:console
/dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx 5 2 system
/dev/vc/0 /dev/vc/0 4 0 system:vtmaster
serial /dev/ttyS 4 64-67 serial
pty_slave /dev/pts 136 0-1048575 pty:slave
pty_master /dev/ptm 128 0-1048575 pty:master
unknown /dev/tty 4 1-63 console
I changed it to this which better reflects my system.
[jonsmirl@jonsmirl ~]$ cat /proc/tty/drivers
/dev/tty /dev/tty 5 0 system:/dev/tty
/dev/console /dev/console 5 1 system:console
/dev/ptmx /dev/ptmx 5 2 system:/dev/ptmx
/dev/tty0 /dev/tty0 4 0 system:vtmaster
serial /dev/ttyS 4 64-67 serial
pty_slave /dev/pts 136 0-1048575 pty:slave
pty_master /dev/ptm 128 0-1048575 pty:master
vtconsole /dev/tty 4 1-63 vt:console
Nothing in that patch has anything to do with udev support. It is just
trying to make things match my current devices. When we got rid of
devfs /dev/vc/0 became /dev/tty0.
The ttyp change was a mistake. The patch below removes that error. Is
there anything else wrong with it? That's why we have patch reviews,
to catch dumb errors like that.

It works fine, it would not suprise me if udev users were still the
minority case in fact.
If I use udev to rename my devices, the names aren't going to match
/proc/tty and what ps shows. The idea behind udev is that the kernel
only deals in device numbers and all naming happens in user space.
