SubjectRe: [PATCH] tty: MAX3100


Btw, Alan, since you're working on those tty drivers, one thing I thought
I'd ask you is whether you'd be interested in moving the tty drivers to a
subdirectory of their own.

From a quick unscientific count, it looks like of the 271 files in
drivers/char, about 90 are tty/console-related (done by "git grep -l
'\<tty\>'"), and the rest are pretty random (either literally about random
hardware or about agp or just odd stuff).

So I'm wondering if it would make sense to do a drivers/tty for the core
tty (ldisc, tty_io etc) stuff, and perhaps move some of the non-core
(serial) drivers into drivers/serial.

I don't know, for example, why drivers/char/stallion.c is not in
drivers/serial. Just historical reasons, or an actual reason?

Not a big deal, just wondering.

Linus
