[PATCH 3/3] staging: dgnc: use tty_alloc_driver instead of kcalloc

[Daeseok Youn]

the tty_alloc_driver() can allocate memory for ttys and termios.
And also it can release allocated memory easly with using
put_tty_driver().

But you broke the driver in the previous patch, you can't do that, each
patch has to be 'stand-alone'.

I am not sure about 'stand-alone'. this patch has to have dependency on
previous patch..

I am not sure how to make a series of patches that are related with others.

In this series of patches, 1/3 was failed to merge because changelog entry was
missing. So other patches(2/3, 3/3) was breaking working codes.
I will resend this patch with previous and check more before sending
these patches.
Sorry for the noise..

And I have a question not related this thread,
I had been waiting my patches merged and also have other patches on
same file(in case of dgnc).
I couldn't send next patches until previous patches are taken.
How can I manage my patches for this case?

thanks.

regards,
Daeseok.

I am not sure about 'stand-alone'. this patch has to have dependency on
previous patch..

I am not sure how to make a series of patches that are related with others.

In this series of patches, 1/3 was failed to merge because changelog entry was
missing. So other patches(2/3, 3/3) was breaking working codes.
I will resend this patch with previous and check more before sending
these patches.
Sorry for the noise..

And I have a question not related this thread,
I had been waiting my patches merged and also have other patches on
same file(in case of dgnc).
I couldn't send next patches until previous patches are taken.
How can I manage my patches for this case?

thanks.

regards,
Daeseok.

Yes, that is ok, but your first patch said it was just function
renaming, and then the second patch broke functionality, and the third
fixed it up.  You should have a working kernel at each step in your
patch series, which you did not.

Just send your new patches and say they depend on the previous ones.  My
staging patch queue is almost empty at the moment so odds are I have
already applied, or rejected them.

I got it. So I start over from fixing coding style of dgnc module like
I was doing
dgap module.

thanks for your explanation. :-)

I will try to make patches more carefully.
