From fc61ed51270e86440cf7cf84cbe1d86753592932 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Okash Khawaja Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2017 19:40:00 +0100 Subject: tty: add function to convert device name to number The function converts strings like ttyS0 and ttyUSB0 to dev_t like (4, 64) and (188, 0). It does this by scanning tty_drivers list for corresponding device name and index. If the driver is not registered, this function returns -ENODEV. It also acquires tty_mutex.
