The thing probably is that you have protocol_strngs here and
protocol_names there.

I can't explain that, but I see no reason why you wouldn't need \n
there. It expands to standard printk(KERN_ERR "(stc): " fmt) where fmt
should contain \n. I remember Linus sending a patch to the list which
added \n by default if <.> is about to be printed next. But I don't know
if he pushed it out. You can check printk implementation.

Because it does too much to be an inline. The compiler will inline that
itself on its own if it decides to. It can count the pros and cons more
precisely than we can. Also note that gcc will un-inline that if it
decides to (if the inlining penalty is too high).

I doubt ldisc ops will ever have ->private_data. What would you need it
for? The ops generally work with ttys which have ->disc_data.

Yes, if that makes sense. Otherwise de-const data.

Dunno if you got me right. I meant mdelay->msleep.
