Imagine you have two chips, one is the cpu and the other one is a device which needs to be configured, accessed, talked to via uart. The both chips are hardwired via uart. Now I want to communicate from the kernel module with the device. let the device be a RTC Device which has a UART interface. And I don't want to rewrite all the uart device stuff of the cpu uart device. As a i2c client doesn't implement master_xfer or whatever the transfer methods are called in the i2c controller module. It just does a i2c->write(reg, value) and I need something equivalent like uart->send(data, len); and uart->handle_recieved = my_recieved_data_handler; Something like that. Hope this explains it better! As far as I currently understood, this would be a line discipline.
