This patch adds functionality to validate and convert either a device name or 'ser' memmber of synth into dev_t. Subsequent patch in this set will call it to convert user-specified device into device number. For device name, this patch does some basic sanity checks on the string passed in. It currently supports ttyS*, ttyUSB* and, for selected synths, lp*. The patch also introduces a string member variable named 'dev_name' to struct spk_synth. 'dev_name' represents the device name - ttyUSB0 etc - which needs conversion to dev_t.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
