Subject: tty: move the termios object into the tty
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=adc8d746caa67fff4b53ba3e5163a6cbacc3b523;p=linux-beck.git

tty: move the termios object into the tty

This will let us sort out a whole pile of tty related races. The
alternative would be to keep points and refcount the termios objects.
However
1. They are tiny anyway
2. Many devices don't use the stored copies
3. We can remove a pty special case
