Please consider this serial driver for review for submission to staging. The firewire-serial driver implements TTY over IEEE 1394. In its default configuration, it creates 4 TTY devices and one loopback device per firewire card (respectively, named fwtty<n>~fwtty<n+3> and fwloop<n>). Currently, the TTY devices auto-connect to every cabled peer (the TODO list includes plans for providing a sysfs interface to control virtual cabling with whitelist/blacklist support per GUID). Efforts are still ongoing for a companion console driver, with plans to eventually add early_printk & kgdb support (via additional drivers). Some issues did arise with both the TTY and Firewire subsystems which are noted in the TODO file. Please review these workarounds.
