Heh, that's alan's tree, not mine :)

OK, it's a quilt tree at http://www.linux.org.uk/~alan/ttydev/

And it tries to get it right.  For example,
http://www.linux.org.uk/~alan/ttydev/77-tty-break-errorhandler has

  tty: rework break handling
  
  From: Alan Cox [off-list ref]
  
  Some hardware needs to do break handling itself and may have partial
  support only. Make break_ctl return an error code. Add a tty driver flag
  so you can indicate driver hardware side break support.

But I assume that Stephen's scripts did not behave as desired.


(It's strange that there are two patches prefixed "77-", and many
similar)
