This patch (as1121) fixes a bug in the USB serial core. When a device
is unregistered, the core will give back its minors -- even if the
device hasn't been assigned any!
The patch reserves the highest minor value (255) to mean that no minor
was assigned. It also removes some dead code and does a small style
fixup.

USB serial likes to use port->tty back pointers for the real work it does and
to do so without any actual locking. Unfortunately when you consider hangup
events, hangup/parallel reopen or even worse hangup followed by parallel close
events the tty->port and port->tty pointers are not guaranteed to be the same
as port->tty is the active tty while tty->port is the port the tty may or
may not still be attached to.
So rework the entire API to pass the tty struct. For console cases we need
to pass both for now. This shows up multiple drivers that immediately crash
with USB console some of which have been fixed in the process.
Longer term we need a proper tty as console abstraction

Claim the interface for a USB to serial converter when the tty is open,
and release the interface when the tty is closed.
If a driver doesn't provide a resume function, use the generic resume
instead.
Make sure the generic resume function does not submit the URBs if we're
coming back from autosuspend. On autoresume, we know that the open
function will be called next, which will attempt to submit the URBs. If
we submit them in the resume function, the open will fail.
This works for:
- autosuspend
- suspending with the tty open or closed
- hibernate with the tty closed
A hibernate (or a suspend that causes the USB subsystem to lose power)
has issues. If you have the tty open when you hibernate, a new tty will
be created when the device re-enumerates during resume.

When a usb serial adapter is used as console, the usb serial console
driver bumps the open_count on the port struct used but doesn't attach
a real tty to it (only a fake one temporaly). If this port is opened later
using the regular character device interface, the open method won't
initialize the port, which is the expected, and will receive a brand new
tty struct created by tty layer, which will be stored in port->tty.
When the last close is issued, open_count won't be 0 because of the
console usage and the port->tty will still contain the old tty value. This
is the last ttyUSB<n> close so the allocated tty will be freed by the
tty layer. The usb_serial and usb_serial_port are still in use by the
console, so port_free() won't be called (serial_close() ->
usb_serial_put() -> destroy_serial() -> port_free()), so the scheduled
work (port->work, usb_serial_port_work()) will still run. And
usb_serial_port_work() does:
(...)
tty = port->tty;
if (!tty)
return;
tty_wakeup(tty);
which causes (manually copied):

This patch (as997) fixes a bug in the USB serial core. The core needs
to pay attention to drivers' requirements regarding the number and
type of endpoints a device has.
At the same time, the patch changes the NUM_DONT_CARE constant (which
is stored in a single-byte field) from -1 to a safer, unsigned value.
It also improves the kerneldoc for several fields in the
usb_serial_driver structure.
Finally, the patch replaces a list_for_each() with list_for_each_entry().

I think there is a race between usb_serial_put() and
usb_serial_get_by_index() (and get_free_serial()) with regards
to handling the serial port refcount.
usb_serial_get_by_index() gets a reference on the serial port under
table_lock while return_serial releases all the returned ports
from the table under the same lock. However, the table_lock is not
taken around the call to kref_put, theoretically allowing to sneak
in and grab a reference after kref_put has already determined that
the reference count is zero (and before calling destroy_serial)
causing use after free.

As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these
structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML
without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
be fixed.
This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all
cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an
extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
warnings.
53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the

This happens because a process can open the device while there is

The usb-serial drivers are "odd" in that they are really usb-serial bus
drivers, not usb bus drivers, so the dynamic id logic will have to go
into the usb-serial bus core for those drivers to get that ability.

These numbers are pointless, as they have not been changed in _years_,
so we should just remove them to stop pretending there is an actual
"version number" for these drivers.
This should also help reduce confusion when people try to ask for
support of a specific driver version, as there has been no way to tell
what they are talking about.

This fixes up a lot of problems in sysfs with some of the usb serial
drivers, they had incorrect driver names. Also saves a tiny ammount
of memory.

I'm tired of trying to explain why a "device_type" is really a driver.
This better describes exactly what this structure is.

The following patch removes unneeded casts for the following (void *) pointers:
- tty_struct->driver_data
- void *private argument of usb_serial_port_softint()

At module load time, if a generic device is found, the tty information
for the device is not set up properly (as the tty structures aren't initialized
yet.) This can cause big problems for things like udev. This patch fixes this.
Thanks to Kay Sievers for the original patch for this problem.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
