Subject: [PATCH] tty: the briq panel isn't a tty, make it use its own locking
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:39:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120223133931.6227.89653.stgit@bob.linux.org.uk> (raw)

From: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com>

The driver appears to be terminall broken, if nobody is maintaining it then
perhaps it should go into staging and the out-tray.

(Fixed bug noted by Jiri)
