Last time I tried to do something like this, it fell over with
multi-function serial ports. Look at this example:
# ls -l /sys/class/tty/ttyS*/device | cut -c40-
/sys/class/tty/ttyS0/device -> ../../../devices/parisc/0/0:0/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0
/sys/class/tty/ttyS1/device -> ../../../devices/parisc/0/0:0/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0
/sys/class/tty/ttyS2/device -> ../../../devices/parisc/0/0:0/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0
/sys/class/tty/ttyS3/device -> ../../../devices/parisc/0/0:0/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.0
/sys/class/tty/ttyS4/device -> ../../../devices/parisc/0/0:0/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.0
Adding the reverse links gets you three links in the 0000:00:04.0
directory all called 'tty' (or 'class:tty', whatever), each pointing to
a different place. This doesn't happen for scsi devices as the class is
attached to the scsi_dev, not the pci_dev. I think the tty subsystem
needs to be modified to add tty_devs as subdevices of the pci_dev.
