I had originally used a "normal" chardev here.  However, I needed a way 
for the connection to be re-established if it dropped for some reason, 
for obvious reasons.  The standard chardev doesn't seem to have any 
provision for this, at least none that I could find.

Am I missing something?  If not, should I add that capability to the 
chardev?
