----------------------------------------------------------------
TTY revert fix for 6.16-rc1

Here is a single revert of one of the previous patches that went in the
last tty/serial merge that is breaking userspace on some platforms
(specifically powerpc, probably a few others.)  It accidentially changed
the ioctl values of some tty ioctls, which breaks xorg.

The revert has been in linux-next all this week with no reported issues.
