Can you expand the "and so on"?

I once had such target. It had 6 serial ports. Do you know if it's
specific to the board or if the number of ports is always 6 because of the
processor?
(The kernel source let me think it ends at ttyPSC5)

While looking at it, I also think other TTY should be added:
tyUSB0, tyUSB1, "and so on" (I have no idea if there is a limit)

Looking at the kernel source, I could also find other terminals:
ttyB0, ttyACM0, rfcomm0, ircomm0, ttyCPM0, ttyCL1, ttySAC0, ttySAC1,
ttySAC2, ttyFB, ttySA0, ttyAM1, ttyAM0.

Does anybody knows if these are common and should be added to
/etc/securetty?

Thanks in advance,
