I would remove those other "weird" device entries from the driver, we
removed those types of device nodes from the kernel tree many many years
ago.  Just stick to one device node per port, and all should be fine.

Also, any reason why these drivers aren't in the main kernel tree?  If
they were, all of this work would have been done for you :)
