Hm. Maybe the driver knows that ttyHS3 is active before
resume and therefore shuts it down differently from the other ports?

But the driver code is open and I think it is in drivers/net/usb/hso.c

So it should be possible (at least in theory) to understand how this
renumbering happens.

Not 100%, although it is after a Reset.

Please look into the 'root/dial' or 'root/pin' script:

	http://download.goldelico.com/gta04/unstable/config.tgz

It scans the /sys entries to locate the "Application" port, even if
it is being renumbered. During our automatic hardware tests we do
a AT_ORESET and I have observed that sometimes ttyHS3 and ttyHS4
have swapped their roles.

Scanning /sys is also recommended by OPTION.
