This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Revert "tty: Set correct tty name in 'active' sysfs attribute"
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-linus 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 hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: Revert "tty: Set correct tty name in 'active' sysfs attribute"
This reverts commit d8a5dc3033af2fd6d16030d2ee4fbd073460fe54.
This breaks plymouth installs, either because plymouth is using the file
"incorrectly" or because the patch is incorrect. Either way, this needs
to be reverted until it is all figured out.
