You're basically confused about serial ports. The kernel serial devices
whether or not hardware is found, to allow programs such as setserial to
function.
If you disagree with that, there'll be an equal number of people who
have serial cards that need setserial who will in turn disagree with
you.
But if no hardware is connected to those devices, then where does the
driver route the setserial stuff?
We had a similar discussion regarding hal and the final solution was to
check the uart type to determine if the port was there or not.
