[PATCH 047/139] pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc coupling

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Thu Feb 28 2013 - 10:13:53 EST


3.5.7.7 -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.
