| |
Folks, it had been quite a few years since callout tty devices had been deprecated. IMO it's time to bury them - the following
if ((tty->driver.type == TTY_DRIVER_TYPE_SERIAL) && (tty->driver.subtype == SERIAL_TYPE_CALLOUT)) { printk("Warning, %s opened, is a deprecated tty " "callout device\n", tty_name(tty, buf));
in tty_open() had been theres since 2.1.90-pre2. IOW, we had two stable branches since then.
Quite a few things in tty code and related data structures exist only because of these beasts and I'd rather get rid of them.
If nobody has serious objections I'll submit patches removing that stuff, so if you _do_ have a reason to keep callouts around, yell now. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
