I don't think so, even my 219 device has both ttyS0 and 1. They are just
serial ports so you need to know what board you are on before you can
make assumptions about what is on the other end.

My concern would be with the impact this has on the non-LCD devices,
since I don't know what is on ttyS0 on those devices (might be the
serial console for example).
I could install the LCD stuff but disabled by default, then at least you
would only need to edit one line (or character even) to enable the LCD.
Not ideal but its an improvement over the situation now I think.
I've CC'd Bernhard and Martin since they appear to have implemented 419p
and 41x respectively support upstream so perhaps they have some insight
on how to distinguish the two.
Ian.
