pxa serial and gps

[Oleg Kravchenko]

Hello! Sorry for my English  ;)  I am a very newbie in kernel developing.
I am porting linux to Asus P535 (details on
http://www.kaa.org.ua/ru/asus-p535/hardware.html)

I have a GPS-device on COM-port. It switches on after supplying the
electricity (I know the commands sequence for making it). I should call
"open()" function to open the port of this device.

My goal is to create the clear switching on of the GPS-device. I mean,
when "open()" function is called for the GPS-port, the commands for
switching GRP-device on shold be additionally executed. I.e. I should
hang the system hook to the "open()" function and analyze the port, for
which "open()" function was called. If it is the GPS-device port I
should call the function of GPS switching on and after that call the
"open()" function by default. Otherwise, I should just call the "open()"
function by default.

I have gps device on /dev/ttyS1 but to use them need enable it by i2c-tools,
I want write some layer code to auto enable gps device when open()
function executing and shutdown gps when close() called

How make it? What function and structures use me?                 
           

I am try to use tty_register_ldisc() but having kernel panic  :-)
