There is no in-kernel function to get the status register of a tty device
like the TIOCMGET ioctl returns to userspace. Create a new function,
tty_get_tiocm(), to obtain the status register that other portions of the
kernel can call if they need this information, and move the existing
internal tty_tiocmget() function to use this interface.

Why not simply:
{
if (tty->ops->tiocmget)
return tty->ops->tiocmget(tty);
return -ENOTTY;
}
?
