PATCH 1/2 tty: add tty_struct->dev pointer to corresponding device instance

Some device drivers (mostly tty line disciplines) would like to have way know a struct device instance corresponding to passed tty_struct. Add a struct device pointer to struct tty_struct and populate it during initialize_tty_struct().

Greg, what about these two patches? Can I expect for them to be pulled into your patch queue for 2.6.37?

Yes, I will queue them up to my -next branch soon and will go to Linus for .37.
