That's OK, but the real problem is that TTY is not a visible child of UPLCOM 
for example. I would suggest adding a new IOCTL or maybe you have a better 
idea, where we can pass the "device_get_nameunit()" string, and then TTY can 
store it and pass it to userland.

Also TTY should have a printout in dmesg, which unit is create if this string 
is specified.
