This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc coupling
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-next branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc coupling
Now that N_TTY uses tty->disc_data for its private data,
'subclass' ldiscs cannot use ->disc_data for their own private data.
(This is a regression is v3.8-rc1)
Use pps_lookup_dev to associate the tty with the pps source instead.
This fixes a crashing regression in 3.8-rc1.
