Subject: [PATCH 01/20] tty: Introduce a tty_port common structure

From: Alan Cox <alan@...hat.com>

Every tty driver has its own concept of a port structure and because they all
differ we cannot extract commonality. Begin fixing this by creating a structure
drivers can elect to use so that over time we can push fields into this and
create commonality and then introduce common methods.
