Subject: Re: [PATCH] TTY: serdev: Replace depricated macros

Thank you for your reply.

> If these really are "deprecated", 

According to the comment in file "include/linux/idr.h" (line 318) these
macros are depricated.

> why not just do a search/replace across the whole tree and change them?

I've stumbled across these macros while trying to figure out how to write 
device driver using serial device bus. So, I've decided to change them with
appropriate function calls.

I didn't do search/replace across the whole tree because it's my first 
patch and I wanted it to be short. But now, when you mentioned it, 
I will do it.

Thank you for your time,
