Next: [PATCH 2/2] serport: place serport serio device correctly in the device tree
From: Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov on 7 Aug 2010 06:00
Some device drivers (mostly tty line disciplines) would like to have way
to get a struct device instancve corresponding to passed tty_struct. Add
respective API call.
