This is the TashTalk driver, it perits for a modern machine to
participate in a Apple LocalTalk network and is compatibile with
Netatalk.

Please see the included documentation for details:
Documentation/networking/device_drivers/appletalk/index.rst

Hi Rodolfo,

Nice to see you got this into a working state! I vaguely
remember discussing this in the past, and suggesting you
try a user space solution, so it would be good if you can
add in the patch description why you ended up with a kernel
driver after all.

My main concern at this point is the usage of .ndo_do_ioctl.
I had previously sent patches to completely remove that
from the kernel, but never got around to send a new version
after the previous review. I still have them in my tree
and should be able to send them again, but that will obviously
conflict with your added use.

You should not need to keep a list of the devices
or a module parameter to limit the number. I'm fairly sure
the devices are already tracked by the network stack in a
way that lets you enumerate them later.

Please try to avoid forward declations and instead reorder the
functions to put the callers after the calles.

This is basically set_bit_le(), so you could use that
for clarity and use an array of 'unsigned long' words.

Can you use the global crc_ccitt() function instead of implementing
your own?

As we discussed in the past, I think this really should
not use ndo_do_ioctl(), which instead should just disappear.

Please change the caller to use some other method of
setting the address in the driver.

I'm also not a bit fan of using the SIOC* command codes
in a tty device with incompatible argument types. I do
see that slip and x25 do the same, but it would be nice
to find a better interface for these. I have not looked
at all the other line disciplines, but maybe you can
find a better example to copy.

I think that tt needs an __rcu annotation. Sparse says:

.../tashtalk.c:290:14: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):

actual is set but otherwise unused in this function.
Should it be used as part of checking, with an error code returned on error?
If not, it should probably be removed.

Flagged by W=1 builds.

I think tty->disc_data also needs an __rcu annotation, which will
likely highlight the need for annotations elsewhere. Flagged by Sparse.

Are all those needed? I doubt that.

Where did you dig this driver from? Drop this.

uint?

Switch to u8's.

Storing pid is usually wrong. So is here.

Many of the above is ancient material.

Is this real ccitt? Won't crc_ccitt_byte() work then?

What is actual used for? And why is this not a single write (using 
buf[6] instead).

Is this neeeded at all? You cannot unload the module while the ldisc is 
active, right? (Unlike NET, TTY increases module count.)

Those should be unregistered in tty ldisc closes, no?

Hi Arnd, Simon and Jiri,
First and foremost, thank you so much for taking the time to review my code
and for providing your comments.
I will do my best to address the issues and improve the code for the
next submission.

I will also add a longer description on why I went this route, it is mostly
due to compatibility with existing distributions of netatalk 2, which can
work without modification.

I will fix this in the next revision, I was not sure if I should touch the
appletalk code for my first submission, but I can add a third patch that
takes care of this.

Kind Regards,
Rodolfo

missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION()

Since commit 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the
description is missing"), a module without a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() will
result in a warning when built with make W=1. Recently, multiple
developers have been eradicating these warnings treewide, and very few
are left, so please don't introduce a new one :)

+tashtalk.c: LocalTalk driver for Linux
+======================================
+
+Authors
+-------
+
+Rodolfo Zitellini <rwz@xhero.org>
+
+Motivation
+----------
+
+The Linux Kernel includes a complete implementation of AppleTalk,
+which can be used with the Netatalk package to share files with older
+classic Macintoshes. The Kernel also contained drivers for LocalTalk,
+the serial LAN found on many early Macs, which was based on older ISA
+cards implementing the same chipset found in Macs. These boards were
+historically very difficult to obtain, making LocalTalk on Linux
+impractical. In recent years, a vibrant community of enthusiasts has
+produced many tools to ease connecting older machines to the modern
+world. One such project is TashTalk, which implements LocalTalk on a
+PIC microcontroller (https://github.com/lampmerchant/tashtalk).
+
+This driver reintroduces LocalTalk support to the Kernel by providing
+an interface to TashTalk, which can be easily used over a serial port.
+It comes handy for use with older machines that have no thernet option,
+since all early Macintoshes had LocalTalk built-in.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The LocalTalk network implemented one of the physical layers for AppleTalk,
+utilizing an RS422 bus with FM0 and SDLC encoding. On Macs, it was managed
+by the built-in Zilog SCC Z8530. In the modern context, this interface is
+provided by TashTalk, which communicates with a PC via a serial port or
+adapter, or through a specialized adapter (https://github.com/xhero/USB2LT)
+that directly connects a LocalTalk network via a USB port.
+
+Since LocalTalk support is still present in the Linux kernel, it is possible
+to use Netatalk 2 (or the upcoming version 4) directly. The interface is also
+compatible with macipgw (https://github.com/jasonking3/macipgw) to provide
+MacIP over LocalTalk.
+
+This driver implements a line discipline that must be attached, after which
+the LocalTalk interface can be brought up and used.
+
+Operation/loading of the driver
+-------------------------------
+
+If the driver is compiled as module, it can be loaded with
+
+    modprobe tashtalk
+
+By default, 32 TashTalk adapters are available, so this means it can use
+up to 32 serial ports. This number can be changed with the tash_maxdev
+parameter.
+
+Once the driver is loaded, the line discipline is used to attach a serial
+port to it:
+
+    sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 crtscts
+    sudo ldattach -s 1000000 31 /dev/ttyUSB0
+
+The line discipline ID for TashTalk is 31. Use of stty is required for
+hardware flow control (and has to be properly implemented in hardware!)
+Once the line disc is attached, the interface should be brought up:
+
+    sudo ip link set dev lt0 up
+
+or
+
+    sudo ifconfig lt0 up
+
+Any number (up to the specified max devices) of lt interfaces can be
+used, which will be numbered lt0-ltN
+
+Configuring Netatalk
+--------------------
+
+Netatalk natively supports Localtalk networks. Here is a simple
+configuration for one network:
+
+    lt0 -router -phase 2 -net 54321 -addr 54321.129 -zone LocalTalk
+
+This sets the node id to 129, but the node id will still be arbitrated
+on the network following the specifications. Starting Netatalk will then
+make shares and printers available on the Localtalk network.
+Multiple adapters can be used together:
+
+    lt0 -seed -phase 2 -net 1 -addr 1.129 -zone "AirTalk"
+    lt1 -seed -phase 2 -net 2 -addr 2.130 -zone "LocalTalk"
+
+And also different type of adapters (like Ethernet) can be mixed in
+the Netatalk routing.
+
+Addressing
+----------
+
+LocalTalk addresses are dynamically assigned by default. In the Linux
+implementation, a user program must request a preferred address, which
+the driver will attempt to allocate. If the preferred address is unavailable,
+the driver will suggest a new, randomly generated one, as specified by the
+LocalTalk protocol. The user program should then retrieve the assigned address.
+
+In the COPS LocalTalk implementation, this process was handled in a blocking
+manner, and Netatalk continues to expect this behavior. The same approach is
+implemented in this driver. When the user program issues a `SIOCSIFADDR` ioctl,
+it triggers the address arbitration algorithm. The ioctl call will only return
+once the arbitration is complete. Subsequently, a `SIOCGIFADDR` ioctl is required
+to obtain the actual assigned address.
+
+
+Debug
+-----
+
+Despite the name, tcpdump is able to understand DDP and basic AppleTalk packets:
+
+    sudo tcpdump -i lt0 -vvvX
+
+The driver can also be recompiled setting the TASH_DEBUG option, to have a more
+verbose log of what is going on.
+
+`print_hex_dump_bytes` is used to print incoming and outgoing packets
+
+    echo 'file tashtalk.c line 231 +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
+
+Please consult the current source for the exact line numbers.
+
+Credits
+-------
+
+Many thanks to Tashtari (https://github.com/lampmerchant) for his TashTalk
+implementation of LocalTalk, as well as his invaluable assistance in debugging this
+driver and his unwavering support throughout the project.
+
+Special thanks to Doug Brown for his invaluable help, patience, thorough reviews,
+and insightful comments on my code, as well as his support throughout the
+submission process.

+	  AppleTalk is a network protocol developed by Apple that allows Apple
+	  computers to communicate with each other over a network. This protocol
+	  is versatile and can operate over various types of physical interfaces.
+	  For instance, if you have a specific physical interface available,
