That sounds much better.

LTIB doesn't alter device trees AFAIK...  Unless you have more than two 
CPM serial nodes, you won't get more than ttyCPM0 and ttyCPM1.

Do you have a static /dev, or are you running mdev or udev?  If the 
latter, then any changes in the kernel or device tree are not going to 
automatically show up in /dev.
