staging/fwserial: Create loop device the 'tty' way
Register a second tty driver to create loopback devices for
each firewire node. Note that the loopback devices are numbered
from 0; the tty->index is transformed when used to index the
port table.
Remove the hack that previously enabled this.

This driver uses the same unregistered vendor id that the firewire core does (0xd00d1e). Perhaps this could be exposed as a define in firewire.h? - --- Issues with TTY core -- - 1. Hack for alternate device name scheme - - because udev no longer allows device renaming, devices should have - their proper names on creation. This is an issue for creating the - fwloop<n> device with the fwtty<n> devices because although duplicating - roughly the same operations as tty_port_register_device() isn't difficult, - access to the tty_class & tty_fops is restricted in scope. - - This is currently being worked around in create_loop_device() by - extracting the tty_class ptr and tty_fops ptr from the previously created - tty devices. Perhaps an add'l api can be added -- eg., - tty_{port_}register_named_device(). |
