Adding two additional TTYs is an alternative indeed, it is simple and
straightforward to implement.
My idea was to make system auto extensible and configurable. I have
fixed number of TTYs to 6, but as you suggest in your research below it
could be defined as a variable. HAL could provide an override too. Also
maintenance may be simpler since we avoid duplicated code?!
However there is the question of cost/benefit, this change may be too
radical - hence my dilemma what version to post as patch. Would it be
proper if I provide both alternatives?

They are present, but at wrong place - after code generated by puts. I
found-out it in meantime and I have changed CDL so define_proc/puts is
after cdl_option CYGDAT_IO_SERIAL_TTY_TTY[set ::channel]_DEV
The actual problem was only with CYGDAT_IO_SERIAL_TTY_TTYx_DEV.
CYGDAT_IO_SERIAL_TTY_TTYx_1 are not necessary since CDL will generate
only selected devices in io_serial.h

I have to admit that I like to avoid code replication whenever possible,
but this for {} pattern is present in some serial device diver CDLs so
it is not a precedent.
Should I take your research below as an encouragement?
