Even if the identifier string of tty3270.c becomes "3270/tty" it seems
that something goes wrong as in show_cons_active() of drivers/tty/tty_io.c
the name_base of the struct tty_driver is not honored.

Also on s390 the device for "3270/tty" its self is not plugged:

  systemctl list-units | grep virtual-tty | sed 's/^/  /'
  sys-devices-virtual-tty-hvc0.device       loaded active plugged   /sys/devices/virtual/tty/hvc0
  sys-devices-virtual-tty-hvc1.device       loaded active plugged   /sys/devices/virtual/tty/hvc1
  sys-devices-virtual-tty-hvc2.device       loaded active plugged   /sys/devices/virtual/tty/hvc2
  sys-devices-virtual-tty-hvc3.device       loaded active plugged   /sys/devices/virtual/tty/hvc3
  sys-devices-virtual-tty-hvc4.device       loaded active plugged   /sys/devices/virtual/tty/hvc4
  sys-devices-virtual-tty-hvc5.device       loaded active plugged   /sys/devices/virtual/tty/hvc5
  sys-devices-virtual-tty-hvc6.device       loaded active plugged   /sys/devices/virtual/tty/hvc6
  sys-devices-virtual-tty-hvc7.device       loaded active plugged   /sys/devices/virtual/tty/hvc7
  sys-devices-virtual-tty-ttysclp0.device   loaded active plugged   /sys/devices/virtual/tty/ttysclp0

as the existing directory

  /sys/devices/virtual/tty/3270!tty1

is not listed at least with 208.  Nevertheless the nodes are there

  ll /dev/3270/tty1 
  crw--w---- 1 root tty 227, 1 Feb  4 15:51 /dev/3270/tty1

but a `dev-3270-tty1.device' seems not to be usable.
