TODO: 1. A per-device/tty port context required to support multiple devices on same platform. 2. REMOVE the sysfs entry PID passing mechanism, since there should be a better way to request user-space to install line discipline. 3. Re-view/Re-work on the locking. 4. Re-structure to make the ldisc driver more generic for chipsets which mux multiple connectivity (BT, FM, GPS) upon 1 TTY port. 5. Step up and maintain this driver to ensure that it continues to work. Having the hardware for this is pretty much a requirement. If this does not happen, the will be removed in the 2.6.35 kernel release. Please send patches to Greg Kroah-Hartman .
