You didn't actually answer any of my questions.

sorry.

I want to use the interface aka /dev/ttyS0.
I want to process data inside of a kernel module to provide it /proc
(done) or as own char-dev (done).

but I can not grab the data.

It is part of my project in my studies.

It is more a conceptual work, but important. I want to release a howto,
when I complete.

You still answer unasked questions. Please answer inline:

  * Why do you wanto to do the serial stuff in kernel land?
It is more a conceptual work, but important. I want to release a howto,
when I complete.

  * Isn't it easier to do it in userspace?
yes

  * What specific device do you work on?
I want to use the interface aka /dev/ttyS0. (text-stream)

  * New: Is it a wise idea to do it in kernel land?
no, explicitly not. To get known hwo to deal with data from devices.

The /proc filesystem has been somewhat obsoleted in favour of sysfs
for device/driver information.
