Subject: kgdboc,tty: Fix tty polling search to use name correctly
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc8~6^2
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0dca0fd2bfeb99738708d6c9117994ebf398e72c;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

kgdboc,tty: Fix tty polling search to use name correctly

The tty_find_polling_driver() routine did not correctly check the base
part of the tty name.  This can lead to kgdboc selecting an incorrect
driver, as well as accepting a completely invalid tty such as "echo
ffff0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc".
