It all depends on the type of device, and if you have any other usb to
serial devices in the system at the same time.
So, for visor devices, you can go by their usb id, or usb product
string, but you need the second instance, but for some sony devices you
need to use the first port.
So writing a set of rules for all devices would be possible, but pretty
complex :( I say stick with the default name for now, and any user can
add a symlink rule once they determine the type of device they have.
thanks,
