2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby(a)suse.cz>

commit bf9c1fca9ae9a79ed209e7ab2c10b3862f3f6f72 upstream.

Sorry, one more fix, this one depends on the other, so this is rather 2/2.

tty->driver_data is used all over the code, but never set. This
results in oopses like:

Set tty->driver_data to the computed port in .install to not recompute it in
every place where needed. Switch .open to use driver_data too.
