- Operations are now a shared const function block as with most other Linux
objects
- Introduce wrappers for some optional functions to get consistent behaviour
- Wrap put_char which used to be patched by the tty layer
- Document which functions are needed/optional
- Make put_char report success/fail
- Cache the driver->ops pointer in the tty as tty->ops
- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need
- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan
- Introduce some missing sanity checks where certain driver/ldisc
combinations would oops as they didn't check needed methods were present

The ser_gigaset ISDN driver was using a mutex in its close() method for
waiting for other running ldisc methods to finish. That's what completions
are for. Incidentally, this also avoids a spurious "BUG: lock held at task
exit time" message when the driver's userspace daemon daemonizes itself.

Mark some static arrays as const that aren't and shouldn't be modified, and
remove incorrect static attribute from some variables.

This patch adds the line discipline based driver for the Gigaset M101
wireless RS232 adapter. It also improves the documentation a bit.
