3.7.0
cat /sys/bus/pnp/drivers/serial/*/resources
state = active
io 0x2f8-0x2ff
irq 12
dma disabled

3.6.0
:~ # cat /sys/bus/pnp/drivers/serial/*/resources
cat: /sys/bus/pnp/drivers/serial/*/resources: No such file or directory

Which is intresting.
So I thought tacking on "tail /sys/devices/pnp0/*/resources" might be helpful.
