patch for speakup serial hardware synths

patch for speakup serial hardware synths

[John Heim]

A few weeks ago I asked about a problem with the speakup screen reader code. 
It does not work with serial hardware speech synthesizers. But I managed to 
get it working. How can I submit my fix for integration into the kernel 
code. The patch file can be downloaded here:
http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/downloads/patch-2012-03-06.patch

To install it you cd to the linux source directory and do this:
patch -i patch-2012-03-06.patch drivers/staging/speakup/serialio.c"

See Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

As a first approximation:
	- try to figure out who maintains that code (by looking in
	  MAINTAINERS and/or looking at "git log
	  path/to/file/you/modified" to see who touched it lately, and
	  make sure they're cc'd on your mail.
	- generate the diff with "diff -up".
	- append the patch to your email so we can reply and quote it if
	  necessary.
	- give a few more details about what was broken before and how
	  this fixed it.
