Again, changing the tty name breaks userspace. You can't do that.

You need to do something like this:

diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/st-asc.c b/drivers/tty/serial/st-asc.c
index c763253514e9..5f9f01fac6dd 100644
--- a/drivers/tty/serial/st-asc.c
+++ b/drivers/tty/serial/st-asc.c
@@ -782,7 +782,9 @@ static struct asc_port *asc_of_get_asc_port(struct
platform_device *pdev)
        if (!np)
                return NULL;

-       id = of_alias_get_id(np, ASC_SERIAL_NAME);
+       id = of_alias_get_id(np, "serial");
+       if (id < 0)
+               id = of_alias_get_id(np, ASC_SERIAL_NAME);

        if (id < 0)
                id = 0;
