So I should rewrite the uart_handle_dcd_change() as follow?

static inline void
uart_handle_dcd_change(struct uart_port *port, unsigned int status)
{
        struct uart_info *info = port->info;
	struct tty_struct *tty = info->tty;
        struct tty_ldisc *ld;

        ld = tty_ldisc_ref(tty);
        if (ld != NULL) {
                if (ld->dcd_change)
                        (ld->dcd_change)(tty, port, status);
                tty_ldisc_deref(ld);
        }

        port->icount.dcd++;

#ifdef CONFIG_HARD_PPS
        if ((port->flags & UPF_HARDPPS_CD) && status)
                hardpps();
#endif

        if (info->flags & UIF_CHECK_CD) {
                if (status)
                        wake_up_interruptible(&info->open_wait);
                else if (tty)
                        tty_hangup(tty);
        }
}

Is that right?

Thanks a lot,

Rodolfo
