One solution is to change the current PARAM_PORT parameter nature.
Currently, it is an integer, used as index for a predefined list of
ports. I suggest to replace it with raw string, storing the effective
port value ("/dev/ttyUSB3" for example).Such change will brake compatibility between versions. Perhaps can we find a way to stay ascendant compatible. It doesn't make sense to encode pathnames to special files anyway, because it isn't portable. On NetBSD, it's /dev/dtyU0 or /dev/ttyU0 instead. So I agree that having a string and removing the magic list makes sense. Probably gpsd should be the main documented approach anyway.
