3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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.
