[PATCH] tty: serial: 21285: stop using the unused[] variable from struct uart_port

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Dec 19 2019 - 03:20:15 EST


Much like the samsung_tty driver (now I know where they copied the idea
from), the 21285 uart driver uses 2 bytes from the "unused" array of
struct uart_port to keep tx/rx enabled/disabled state. Those fields are
going away (they were never really needed in the first place), so fix up
the 21285 driver by another horrible hack.

Instead of creating a whole structure for just 2 bytes, just use two
bits from the private_data pointer instead, as that pointer is never
used. The two bits reflect if tx/rx is now enabled/disabled.

Astute readers will note that once rx is disabled, nothing ever seems to
turn it back on, making one wonder if anyone has ever done this.
