Onboard serial ports show themselves as /dev/ttyS0-4, so maybe you can tighten the filter.
We prefer to use the /dev/serial/by-id/* links since those don't change after reboots, where as the normal /dev/tty device do. (with usb interfaces) That's why you see extra code to read the links, you can leave it out if not needed.
