As reported by Vipul Gandhi, the current serial_match_port() doesn't work
for tty-devices using dynamic major number allocation.  Fix it.

It oopses if you suspend a serial port with _dynamic_ major number.  ATM,
I think, there's only the drivers/serial/jsm/jsm_driver.c driver, that
does it in-tree.

Commit 64e9159f5d2c4edf5fa6425031e556f8fddaf7e6 ("serial_core:
uart_set_ldisc infrastructure") introduced the ability for low-level
serial drivers to be informed when the tty ldisc changes.

However, the actual tty-layer function that does this callback for
serial devices was declared with the wrong type, having a spurious and
unused 'ldisc' argument.

This fixed the resulting compiler warning by just removing it.

The tty layer provides a callback that is used when the line discipline
is changed. Some hardware uses this to configure hardware specific
features such as IrDA mode on serial ports. Unfortunately the serial
layer does not provide this feature or pass it down to drivers.

Blackfin used to hack around this by rewriting the tty ops, but those are
now properly shared and const so the hack fails. Instead provide the
proper operations.

This change plus a follow up from the Blackfin guys is needed to avoid
blackfin losing features in this release.

<title>serial: fix enable_irq_wake/disable_irq_wake imbalance in serial_core.c</title>

enable_irq_wake() and disable_irq_wake() need to be balanced.  However,
serial_core.c calls these for different conditions during the suspend and
resume functions...

This is causing a regular WARN_ON() as found at
http://www.kerneloops.org/search.php?search=set_irq_wake

This patch makes the conditions for triggering the _wake enable/disable
sequence identical.

I noticed that

  	struct uart_state *state = tty-&gt;driver_data;
  	struct uart_port *port = state-&gt;port;
  	unsigned long flags;

  	 * This means you called this function _after_ the port was
  	 * closed.  No cookie for you.
  	 */
  	if (!state || !state-&gt;info) {
  		WARN_ON(1);
  		return;
  	}

is too late for checking state != NULL.

- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
  objects

- Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour

- Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer

- Document which functions are needed/optional

- Make put_char report success/fail

- Cache the driver-&gt;ops pointer in the tty as tty-&gt;ops

- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need

- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan

- Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
  combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present

Instead of checking for the BKL in these methods, take it ourselves.  That
avoids propogating it into the serial drivers and we can then fix them later

Russell King noticed this one: We have to avoid replacing B0 when we pick a
baud rate for a "hung up" port.  Ugly but the proper fix is in the tty layer
and means changing the tty&lt;-&gt;serial interfaces so we will defer that for now.

This patch (as1059) fixes a mistake in the way the serial core
initializes a device's wakeup settings.  It should use the accessor
