What type of new tty driver are you writing that you need these
bindings?  The need for new tty drivers is quite low based on the lack
of new ones being added to the tree anymore.  Are you sure you just
don't want a serial port driver instead?

I would want to see a real need for this before going any further.  It's
great that you created these bindings, but without a need, I don't see
why this should even be reviewed.
