Subject: [patch 0/2] staging: speakup: support more than ttyS*

Hi,

These patches extend speakup support to ttyUSB* and lp*. They introduce
a new module param dev whose function is similar to ser but instead of
taking serial port number as argument, it takes strings like ttyS0 or
ttyUSB0. First patch just adds functionality to convert such strings
into dev_t. Second patch makes use of that functionlity.

Thanks,
Okash
