Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] tty globals cleanup (cont'd)

Changes from v2: rebased on top of current tty-next

original message follows:

Hi Greg,

This patch series is part of the ongoing effort to cleanup and reduce the
kernel tty interface; specifically removing undefined function declarations,
unused macros, encapsulating global data, undefining unused exports,
limiting functions and data to file scope, etc.

Regards,

Peter Hurley (6):
  tty: Unexport system-wide tty_mutex
  tty: Eliminate global symbol tty_ldisc_N_TTY
  tty: Remove declarations to non-existent functions
  tty: Move tty_check_change() helper
  tty: Remove unreferenced tty flags macro TTY_DEBUG
  tty: Make tty_files_lock per-tty
