From 0dca0fd2bfeb99738708d6c9117994ebf398e72c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wessel Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 10:36:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] 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".
