From 32ad3a77b256948a326c3f68db6acaad2b6953e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2011 10:43:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] TTY: serial_core, remove invalid test tty->index (named here as line) is set up in initialize_tty_struct. The value is checked in get_tty_driver for the found driver as: if (device < base || device >= base + p->num) continue; *index = device - base; So index/line can never be more than driver->num. Hence remove this test from uart_open.
