Subject: [PATCH 38/80] tty: ipw need reworking

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

This came in via another tree and unfortunately is rather broken on
the tty side. Comment the apparent locking problems for someone who knows
the driver to look at.

Fix the termios and other ioctl handling. The driver was calling the wrong
methods for what it wanted to do but the right ones existed so its a simple
fix up.
