Re: [PATCH 1/6] tty: n_gsm: Add support for serdev drivers

Hi!

This is neccessary for having useful Droid 4 support, so let me try to
ressurect this.

If there's newer version (I took mine from for-5.7 branch), let me
know.

Is drivers/tty/serdev/protocol/ngsm.c acceptable place for you?

Ok, I guess keeping this in series with gnss driver makes sense? That
one should be good example.

"struct gsm_serdev_dlci_operations" is rather long, but I can do
that; unless there's better idea? ...OTOH... yes, "ops" variable is
used for this, but it is more than "operations" structure, so the new
name is misleading. I may have to rename it back.

Actually, let me drop this for now.

Having exported interfaces somehow robust looks like good thing. Do
you want me to remove it?

Thanks, fixed.

gsm_serdev does not specify concrete dlci; we can go from dlci to gsd
but not the other way around.

...which shows that gsm_serdev_dlci is not really "operations"
structure and should not be named as such.

It is not needed in my application, I guess, so it would be difficult
to test.

Ok.

prev_data is used to store data pointer, so that it can be restored on
unregister. Are you saying it is not neccessary?

This is for in-kernel users. When gnss device is opened, this is called.

Ok.

Well, with warn_on we continue, so easier debugging. It obviously
should not happen.

Actually, check should not be needed, as gsd_dlci_get() will check
both limits for us. Let me remove it.

I find such robustness helpful, but I can remove it if you insist.

I don't believe we need to support hangups for the Droid 4, but
obviously it would be good not to crash. But I don't know where to
start looking, do you have any hints?
