According to dmesg, Pi (at least 3b and 4) only have pluart, and no com.

Yes, this is horrible and should get removed - but then existing users
of pluart with tty00 would need to change their configuration. The diff
I sent uses ttyP0 (P for "pluart") but any other letter would be fine
(except for C used by wsdisplay and U used by ucom).
