19 * The trace sink uses the Linux line discipline framework to receive
20 * trace data coming from the PTI source line discipline driver
21 * to a user-desired tty port, like USB.
22 * This is to provide a way to extract modem trace data on
23 * devices that do not have a PTI HW module, or just need modem
24 * trace data to come out of a different HW output port.
25 * This is part of a solution for the P1149.7, compact JTAG, standard.

49 * there is a quirk with this ldisc is he can write data

53 * the API is called. In theory, the API can be called
54 * after an init() but before a successful open() which
55 * would crash the system if tty is not checked.
