Hi Alan,

A sparc allmodconfig build gives these warnings:

drivers/char/n_tty.c: In function 'n_tty_poll':
drivers/char/n_tty.c:1592: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
drivers/char/n_tty.c:1601: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
drivers/char/n_tty.c: In function 'n_tty_read':
drivers/char/n_tty.c:1306: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c: In function 'set_termios':

drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c:578: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c: In function 'tty_mode_ioctl':

drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c:963: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c:969: warning: array subscript is above array bounds

drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c:1007: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
drivers/char/tty_ioctl.c:1015: warning: array subscript is above array bounds

These are things like:

termios->c_cc[VTIME] = 0;

termios is a (struct ktermios *) which has "cc_t c_cc[NCCS];". NCCS is
17 and VTIME is also 17. I assume the intention is to actually fill in
_x_cc[0], but why is it done this way and not more directly?
