[PATCH] n_tty: Remove reader wakeups for TTY_BREAK/TTY_PARITY chars

From: Peter Hurley
Date: Wed Oct 14 2015 - 07:52:48 EST


Waking the reader immediately upon receipt of TTY_BREAK or TTY_PARITY
chars has no effect on the outcome of read():
1. Only non-canonical/EXTPROC mode applies since canonical mode
will not return data until a line termination is received anyway
2. EXTPROC mode - the reader will always be woken by the input worker
3. Non-canonical modes
a. MIN == 0, TIME == 0
b. MIN == 0, TIME > 0
c. MIN > 0, TIME > 0
minimum_to_wake is always 1 in these modes so the reader will always
be woken by the input worker
d. MIN > 0, TIME == 0
although the reader will not be woken by the input worker unless the
minimum data is received, the reader would not otherwise have
returned the received data
