This is really ugly. Couldn't it be specified in the asm's constraints
below?

This will never happen.

Neither this.

You can do that along with tty_port_init in the module_init function.

This should be in activate I suppose. You don't need install/cleanup at
all I beleive.

The same as above.

Detto.

To shutdown. No need for cleanup.

Good.

FIRST_TTY_CHANNEL doesn't make much sense. Better to be removed completely.

This should be s/0/TTY_DRIVER_REAL_RAW/.

No need to set this.

This should be rather "metag".

And this is unnecessary now.

setup_timer()

This deserves a comment why you bind it to CPU0...

No tty_port_destroy anywhere?
