As a quick addendum I'm looking at all of these tty_insert_flip_char()
conversions and I'm extremely disappointed.

Let's just look at just two of the sparc drivers converted in commit
92a19f9cec9a80ad93c06e115822deb729e2c6ad, namely sunhv.c and sunsab.c.

The changes to the uart_handle_sysrq_char() call sites are handled
completely differently in these two drivers, in nearly identical
situations. How can this be correct?

In the sunhv.c case the uart_handle_sysrq_char() call is preserved
but the guarding test is changed from:

if (tty == NULL)

into

if (port->start == NULL)

Whereas in the sunsab.c case, the entire guarding test as well as
the uart_handle_sysrq_char() invocation itself are both
completly removed.

How in the world can that be right?

Either the receive_chars() method's invocations of
uart_handle_sysrq_char() should be retained, or this sysrq processing
is handled now elsewhere and in which case that should be documented
clearly and in detail in the commit log message.
