Subjecttty_driver->ttys association
Hi,

I found this construction in the kernel:
static struct tty_driver *my_ttydriver;
static struct tty_struct *my_tty[PORTS + 1];
static struct termios *my_termios[PORTS + 1];
static struct termios *my_termios_locked[PORTS + 1];

...(alloc+set_op+...)
my_ttydriver->flags = TTY_DRIVER_REAL_RAW|TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV;
my_ttydriver->ttys = my_tty;
my_ttydriver->termios = my_termios;
my_ttydriver->termios_locked = my_termios_locked;
tty_register_driver(my_ttydriver);

The association is completely useless due to
if (p) {
driver->ttys = (struct tty_struct **)p;
driver->termios = (struct termios **)(p + driver->num);
driver->termios_locked = (struct termios **)(p + driver->num * 2);
} else {
driver->ttys = NULL;
driver->termios = NULL;
driver->termios_locked = NULL;
}

in tty_register_driver, isn't it? Can we save some memory?

thanks,
