Subject: pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc coupling
From: George Spelvin <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 03a7ffe4e542310838bac70ef85acc17536b6d7c upstream.
Now that N_TTY uses tty->disc_data for its private data,
'subclass' ldiscs cannot use ->disc_data for their own private data.
(This is a regression is v3.8-rc1)
Use pps_lookup_dev to associate the tty with the pps source instead.
This fixes a crashing regression in 3.8-rc1.
