    Hi All
    I am writing a device driver that should use the existing serial port +
    custom hardware.
    Problem is that I want to use loadable modules and need to talk with the
    serial port driver via the devfs (is this the best way ?).
    I can get a file handle , no problem, but when I want to call the
    tty_open() procedure it requires parameters (inode, file *).
    How do I get hold of them ?

    Thanks in advance
    reyems
