[sukadev-r/Jw6+rmf7HQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org]

Alan,

Resending patch with sign-off. We may also want to update the patch
description of (in tty-init-dev-rework) in the ttydev tree.

Thanks,

Subject: [RFC][PATCH] Move parts of init_dev() into new functions

Move the 'find-tty' and 'fast-track-open' parts of init_dev() to
separate functions.
