We should prefer `struct pci_device_id` over `DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE` to meet
kernel coding style guidelines. This issue was reported by checkpatch.

The request for an IRQ handler must be done after whole configuration. This
was not the case for this driver which request the IRQ in the middle of
the configuration. Sometimes, it happens that something is not completely
configured, we recieve an interrupt thus we stumble into troubles in the
IRQ handler.

<title>ipoctal: protect only the real critical section</title>

In some conditions (echo or particular sequence of special
characters), on buffer push, the tty layer calls the write operation
while we are holding the spinlock. This means deadlock within the same
process on kernels version &lt; 3.12. It seems not a problem on recent
kernel, but the patch still valid as locking optimization.

The protected variables by the spinlock are: xmit_buf, nb_bytes,
pointer_read and pointer_write. So, this patch reduces the locked area
in the IRQ handler only to these variables. Most of the code inside the
locked area in the IRQ handler is not protected elsewhere; it means
that it is not protected at all.

The dev_attrs field of struct bus_type is going away soon, dev_groups
should be used instead.  This converts the ipack bus code to use the
correct field.

<title>ipack: split ipack_device_register() in several functions</title>

One function is ipack_device_init(). If it fails, the caller should execute
ipack_put_device().

The second function is ipack_device_add that only adds the device. If
it fails, the caller should execute ipack_put_device().

Then the device is removed with refcount = 0, as device_register() kernel
documentation says.

ipack_device_del() is added to remove the device.

<title>tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY</title>

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.

The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer.  Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY.  The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

Then, if the user changes the terminal settings, RX would not be enabled again.
