The first amba port does not always have an attached tty, which will
result in a crash if the work-around is activated.

This seems to be the case for example on Snowball which has no modem
hw, which seems to be the main use-case for this work-around.

Can you re-read Documentation/SubmittingPatches and resend this patch
with the needed information so that I can apply it (hint, you forgot a
signed-off-by: line...)
Ah, sorry for that. But actually I was alerted to a plan to eradicate
the whole workaround so this patch can be left unapplied.

I will follow up with a new submission if that doesn't happen soon.

Cheers,
