Re: [PATCH 01/02] hso patch to fix a -EIO from opening a hso serial device

[Denis Joseph Barrow <D.Barow-x9gZzRpC1QbQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

Hi Alan,
Your fix works too I suspect better than mine & since you've a better idea of what
you are doing with tty layer than I do we'll stick with
your fix.

Do you want me to switch off the low latency stuff in the
driver?

I also need to investigate the tty_kref_put & tty_kref_get
& when it was added to the kernel so I can fix stuff for our
internal driver
