[PATCH v2 1/8] tty: add a poll() callback in struct tty_operations

From: Tal Shorer
Date: Tue Jun 13 2017 - 02:52:44 EST


If a tty driver wants to notify the user of some exceptional event,
such as a usb cdc acm device set_line_coding event, it needs a way to
modify the mask returned by poll() and possible also add wait queues.
In order to do that, we allow the driver to supply a poll() callback
of its own, which will be called in n_tty_poll().
