Did you consider inlining tty_flip_buffer_push() or unexporting
tty_schedule_flip() instead?

The name tty_flip_buffer_push() is arguable more descriptive since the
work may already be running and is also less tied to the implementation.

The ratio of drivers using tty_flip_buffer_push() over
tty_schedule_flip() is also something like 186 to 15 so that would
amount to a lot less churn too.

Also, can you please start adding cover letters to your series to
provide an overview of what it is you're trying to accomplish?
