Hi, I don't think they depend on any changes.

This was not intended to fix anything particular. If it does, it is a pure coincidence... These patches are a minimalistic subset to ensure every driver has its own tty_port for each tty. We will need this pairing later.
So the switch of the driver to the new tty port API, as suggested by Alan, is still needed. I might do that later if I learn how to make UML work. (The conversion is by definition invasive and needs runtime testing.)
