Subject: [PATCH] fixed serial device name for Linux

Issue: in Linux, p.name returns 'ttyACM0' for '/dev/ttyACM0' for example
        so p.open() will fail and exception will be triggered without
        useful debug messages.

Fix: using p.device will display the full name for both Windows COM*
        ports and Linux /dev/tty* ports. Verified functional on both.
        Not tested on Mac.
