<title>isdn/capi: fix (middleware) device nodes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d1cadce15af85e409b199c541badd5c9b8839aa0</id>
<content type='text'>
Since v2.4 the capi driver used the following device nodes if
"middleware" support was enabled:
    /dev/capi20
    /dev/capi/0
    /dev/capi/1
    [...]

/dev/capi20 is a character device node. /dev/capi/0 (and up) are tty
device nodes (with a different major).

This device node (naming) scheme is not documented anywhere, as far as I
know. It was originally provided by the capifs pseudo filesystem (before
udev became available). It is required for example by the pppd
capiplugin. It was supported until a few years ago. But a number of
developments broke it:
- v2.6.6 (May 2004) renamed /dev/capi20 to /dev/capi and removed the
  "/" from the name of capi's tty driver. The explanation of the patch
  that did this included two examples of udev rules "to restore the old
  namespace";
- either udev 154 (May 2010) or udev 179 (January 2012) stopped
  allowing to rename device nodes, and thus the ability to have
  /dev/capi20 appear instead of /dev/capi and /dev/capi/0 (and up)
  instead of /dev/capi0 (and up);
- v3.0 (July 2011) also removed capifs. That disabled another method to
  create the /dev/capi/0 (and up) device nodes.

So now users need to manually tweak their setup (eg, create /dev/capi/
and fill that with symlinks) to get things working. This is all rather
hacky and only discoverable by searching the web. Fix all this by
renaming /dev/capi back to /dev/capi20, and by setting the name of the
"capi_nc" tty driver to "capi!" so the tty device nodes appear as
/dev/capi/0 (and up).

<title>isdn/capi: Make verbose reporting depend on capidrv</title>

The Kconfig symbol ISDN_DRV_AVMB1_VERBOSE_REASON is only used for
capi_info2str(). That function is only used in capidrv.c. So setting it
without setting ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV is pointless. Make it depend on
ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV, rename it to ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV_VERBOSE and put its
entry after ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV's entry.

Since this symbol seems to be primarily used for debugging, keep it off
by default. By now the last users of capidrv hopefully know all they
need to know about the reasons for disconnecting.

capi_info2str() is apparently meant to be of general utility. It is
actually only used in capidrv.c. So move it from capiutil.c to
capidrv.c and (obviously) stop exporting it.

And, since we're touching this, merge the two versions of this
function.

The Kconfig symbol ISDN_CAPI_MIDDLEWARE is only used in capi.c. Setting
it without setting ISDN_CAPI_CAPI20 is therefor useless. Make it depend
on ISDN_CAPI_CAPI20 and put its entry after ISDN_CAPI_CAPI20's entry.

In get_capi_ctr_by_nr() and get_capi_appl_by_nr() the parameter comes
from skb-&gt;data.  The current code can underflow to one space before the
start of the array.

The sanity check isn't needed in __get_capi_appl_by_nr() but I changed
it to match the others.

It allows for cleaning up on a considerable amount of places. They did
port_get, wakeup, kref_put. Now the only thing needed is to call
tty_port_tty_wakeup which does exactly that.

One exception is ifx6x60 where tty_wakeup was open-coded. We now call
tty_wakeup properly there.

<title>tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY</title>

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.

The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer.  Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY.  The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are
not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not
called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted
with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this
assumption.

Here it is enough to switch to refcounting in tty_port.
