Please be more precise, there a function and struct with this name.

HOWEVER, there is no such parameter in tty-next (am I looking from wrong 
repo??):

static int gsm_config_ext(struct gsm_mux *gsm, struct gsm_config_ext *ce)

...nor here:

struct gsm_config_ext {
        __u32 keep_alive;       /* Control channel keep-alive in 1/100th of a
                                 * second (0 to disable)
                                 */
        __u32 wait_config;      /* Wait for DLCI config before opening virtual link? */
        __u32 reserved[6];      /* For future use, must be initialized to zero */
};

???
