Jiri Slaby 734cc17838 TTY: use tty_port_register_device
Currently we have no way to assign tty->port while performing tty
installation. There are two ways to provide the link tty_struct =>
tty_port. Either by calling tty_port_install from tty->ops->install or
tty_port_register_device called instead of tty_register_device when
the device is being set up after connected.

In this patch we modify most of the drivers to do the latter. When the
drivers use tty_register_device and we have tty_port already, we
switch to tty_port_register_device. So we have the tty_struct =>
tty_port link for free for those.

Jiri Slaby 2f16669d32 TTY: remove re-assignments to tty_driver members
All num, magic and owner are set by alloc_tty_driver. No need to
re-set them on each allocation site.

pti driver sets something different to what it passes to
alloc_tty_driver. It is not a bug, since we don't use the lines
parameter in any way. Anyway this is fixed, and now we do the right
thing.

Timur Tabi fd01a7a1bf drivers/tty: don't use the byte channel handle as a parameter in ehv_bytechan.c
The ePAPR hypervisor byte channel console driver only supports one byte
channel as a console, and the byte channel handle is stored in a global
variable.  It doesn't make any sense to pass that handle as a parameter
to the console functions, since these functions already have access to the
global variable.

Timur Tabi 191c5cf1ff tty/powerpc: fix build break with ehv_bytechan.c on allyesconfig
The ePAPR hypervisor byte channel driver is supposed to work on all
ePAPR-compliant embedded PowerPC systems, but it had a reference to the MSR_GS
bit, which is available only on Book-E systems.

Also fix a couple integer-to-pointer typecast problems.

Timur Tabi dcd83aaff1 tty/powerpc: introduce the ePAPR embedded hypervisor byte channel driver
The ePAPR embedded hypervisor specification provides an API for "byte
channels", which are serial-like virtual devices for sending and receiving
streams of bytes.  This driver provides Linux kernel support for byte
channels via three distinct interfaces:

1) An early-console (udbg) driver.  This provides early console output
through a byte channel.  The byte channel handle must be specified in a
Kconfig option.

2) A normal console driver.  Output is sent to the byte channel designated
for stdout in the device tree.  The console driver is for handling kernel
printk calls.

3) A tty driver, which is used to handle user-space input and output.  The
byte channel used for the console is designated as the default tty.
