Subject: Compiler warning in v2.6.26-rc4-213-ge97dcb0

With the version given in the subject, I get the following warning:

   CC      drivers/serial/serial_core.o
drivers/serial/serial_core.c:2300: warning: initialization from incompatible 
pointer type

The problem arises in commit 64e9159f5d2c which has uart_set_ldisc as follows:

static void uart_set_ldisc(struct tty_struct *tty, int ldisc)

The set_ldisc routine has only one argument:

        void            (*set_ldisc)(struct uart_port *);

I think this additional patch fixes the problem:
