Merge tag 'tty-3.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty

Pull TTY updates from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here's the big TTY/serial driver pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge
  window.

  Nothing major in here, just lots of incremental changes from Alan and
  Jiri reworking some tty core things to behave better and to get a more
  solid grasp on some of the nasty tty locking issues.

  There are a few tty and serial driver updates in here as well.

  All of this has been in the linux-next releases for a while with no
  problems.

  Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>"

* tag 'tty-3.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (115 commits)
  serial: bfin_uart: Make MMR access compatible with 32 bits bf609 style controller.
  serial: bfin_uart: RTS and CTS MMRs can be either 16-bit width or 32-bit width.
  serial: bfin_uart: narrow the reboot condition in DMA tx interrupt
  serial: bfin_uart: Adapt bf5xx serial driver to bf60x serial4 controller.
  Revert "serial_core: Update buffer overrun statistics."
  tty: hvc_xen: NULL dereference on allocation failure
  tty: Fix LED error return
  tty: Allow uart_register/unregister/register
  tty: move global ldisc idle waitqueue to the individual ldisc
  serial8250-em: Add DT support
  serial8250-em: clk_get() IS_ERR() error handling fix
  serial_core: Update buffer overrun statistics.
  tty: drop the pty lock during hangup
  cris: fix missing tty arg in wait_event_interruptible_tty call
  tty/amiserial: Add missing argument for tty_unlock()
  tty_lock: Localise the lock
  pty: Lock the devpts bits privately
  tty_lock: undo the old tty_lock use on the ctty
  serial8250-em: Emma Mobile UART driver V2
  Add missing call to uart_update_timeout()
