Update the CDC-ACM gadget code to support the peripheral-to-host
notifications when the tty is opened or closed, or issues a BREAK.
The serial framework code calls new generic hooks; right now only
CDC-ACM uses those hooks. This resolves several REVISIT comments
in the code. (Based on a patch from Felipe Balbi.)Note that this doesn't expose USB_CDC_CAP_BRK to the host, since
this code still rejects USB_CDC_REQ_SEND_BREAK control requests
for host-to-peripheral BREAK signaling (received via /dev/ttyGS*).Signed-off-by: David Brownell

This switches the serial gadget over to using the new "function"
versions of the serial port interfacing code. The remaining code
in the main source file is quite small...Signed-off-by: David Brownell

Split out the generic serial support into a "function driver". This
closely mimics the ACM support, but with a MUCH simpler control model.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

Split out CDC ACM parts of "gadget serial" to a "function driver".
Some key structural differences from the previous ACM support, shared
with with the generic serial function (next patch):- As a function driver, it can be combined with other functions.
One gadget configuration could offer both serial and network
links, as an example.- One serial port can be exposed in multiple configurations;
the /dev/ttyGS0 node could be exposed regardless of which
config the host selected.- One configuration can expose multiple serial ports, such as
ttyGS0, ttyGS1, ttyGS2, and ttyGS3.This code should be a lot easier to understand than the previous
all-in-one-big-file version of the driver.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

This abstracts the "gadget serial" driver TTY glue into a separate
component, cleaning it up and disentangling it from connection state.It also changed some behaviors for the better:
- Stops using "experimental" major #127, and switches over to
having the TTY layer allocate the dev_t numbers.- Provides /sys/class/tty/ttyGS* nodes, thus mdev/udev support.
(Note "mdev" hotplug bug in Busybox v1.7.2: /dev/ttyGS0 will
be a *block* device without CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2.)- The tty nodes no longer reject opens when there's no host.
Now they can support normal getty configs in /etc/inttab...- Now implements RX throttling. When the line discipline says
it doesn't want any more data, only packets in flight will be
delivered (currently, max 1K/8K at full/high speeds) until it
unthrottles the data.- Supports low_latency. This is a good policy for all USB serial
adapters, since it eliminates scheduler overhead on RX paths.This also includes much cleanup including better comments, fixing
memory leaks and other bugs (including some locking fixes), messaging
cleanup, and an interface audit and tightening. This added up to a
significant object code shrinkage, on the order of 20% (!) depending
on CPU and compiler.A separate patch actually kicks in this new code, using the functions
declared in this new header, and removes the previous glue.Signed-off-by: David Brownell
