[PATCH 0/9] tty: drop broken alt-speed handling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Setting an alt-speed using TIOCSSERIAL and SPD flags has been deprecated
since v2.1.69 and has been broken for all tty drivers but serial-core
since v3.10 and commit 6865ff222cca ("TTY: do not warn about setting
speed via SPD_*") without anyone noticing (for four years).

Instead of reverting the offending commit, lets get rid of this legacy
code while adding back a warning about the SPD flags being deprecated to
the drivers that once implemented it. Note that drivers implementing
SPD_CUST will continue to support using a custom divisor.

Also note that serial-core did not rely on the TTY layer for SPD
handling and continues to support it while warning about deprecation
(since 2003 at least).

Greg, I suggest you take it all trough the TTY tree even if merging
through multiple trees and applying the final patch once everything is
upstream would be an option. Also the irda clean up does not depend on
the rest of series as the code implementing SPD handling was ifdefed
out.
