[RFC 2/7] tty: add support for "tty slave" devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>

A "tty slave" is a device connected via UART.  It may need a driver to,
for example, power the device on when the tty is opened, and power it
off when the tty is released.
