> Alan's talking about opening up the LDISC installation to kernel (say EXPORTING tty_set_ldisc/tiocsetd), That's like ideal scenario in this case.

Ok I lied - its four lines of code changing, and just set

.ldisc = N_whatever

in your tty_driver

Marcel - that should also clean up some of the other pending goodies

[Untested Patch]

tty: Allow the driver to force an ldisc on open

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

We need this because some hardware is always in various mux or control
modes. At the moment we do handstands via userspace to sort this out on
devices where it makes no sense. Given the size of the patch to fix this
inanity we might as well do so.
