Today's linux-next merge of the tty tree got a conflict in:

from the parisc-hd tree and commits:

0524513afe45 ("tty: don't store semi-state into tty drivers")
72fdb403008c ("tty: pdc_cons, free tty_driver upon failure")

from the tty tree.

I fixed it up (I just used the latter version) ...

The latter version triggers build errors.
Jiri's patch needs fixing. Instead of:
+ tty_driver_kref_put(driver);
it needs to be:
+ tty_driver_kref_put(pdc_console_tty_driver);

Jiri, maybe you can fix it in your tree?
I'm happy to drop the patch from my tree.

The tty tree commits first create a "driver" variable that is used
until it is clear everything works and then it is assigned to
pdc_console_tty_driver.

Ah, right. I didn't checked. Looks good and compiles cleanly.
I'll drop the patch from my tree, so everything is OK now.
