Per Noergaard Christensen 3678a69c38 tty: fixups for kernels 5.14 and 5.15
alloc_tty_driver was deprecated by tty_alloc_driver in commit 7f0bc6a68ed9
(TTY: pass flags to alloc_tty_driver) in 2012 but first in kernel
v5.15 it has been dropped (56ec5880a28e). Switch to tty_alloc_driver
when using kernels >= v5.15

As of v5.15, the put_tty_driver alias has been dropped in favor of
directly calling tty_driver_kref_put (9f90a4ddef4e).  Switch to
tty_driver_kref_put when using kernels >= v5.15

As from v5.14 the write_room (03b3b1a2405c) and
chars_in_buffer (fff4ef17a940) methods' return type changed from int
to unsigned int in struct tty_operations. This has impact on
ec_tty_write_room() and ec_tty_chars_in_buffer().

Virtual TTY interface driver for EtherCAT slave supporting serial comm

Quick installation guide:

./configure --with-linux-dir=/your/linux/directory --enable-tty
make all modules
make modules_install install
rcethercat start
insmod tty/ec_tty.ko
insmod examples/tty/ec_tty_example.ko

The default settings for the serial line are 9600 8 N 1.

The tty example operates a Beckhoff EL6002 at ring position 1. For a short
test, connect port X1 with a serial port via null modem cable. If a minicom is
started on that port and the below command is entered, the output should be
visible in minicom:

echo "Hello World" > /dev/ttyEC0

Have a lot of fun!
