Merge tag 'tty-3.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty

Pull tty/serial patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here's the big tty/serial driver patches for 3.9-rc1.

  More tty port rework and fixes from Jiri here, as well as lots of
  individual serial driver updates and fixes.

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while."

* tag 'tty-3.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (140 commits)
  tty: mxser: improve error handling in mxser_probe() and mxser_module_init()
  serial: imx: fix uninitialized variable warning
  serial: tegra: assume CONFIG_OF
  TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write
  lguest: select CONFIG_TTY to build properly.
  ARM defconfigs: add missing inclusions of linux/platform_device.h
  fb/exynos: include platform_device.h
  ARM: sa1100/assabet: include platform_device.h directly
  serial: imx: Fix recursive locking bug
  pps: Fix build breakage from decoupling pps from tty
  tty: Remove ancient hardpps()
  pps: Additional cleanups in uart_handle_dcd_change
  pps: Move timestamp read into PPS code proper
  pps: Don't crash the machine when exiting will do
  pps: Fix a use-after free bug when unregistering a source.
  pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc coupling
  pps: Add pps_lookup_dev() function
  tty: serial: uartlite: Support uartlite on big and little endian systems
  tty: serial: uartlite: Fix sparse and checkpatch warnings
  serial/arc-uart: Miscll DT related updates (Grant's review comments)
  ...

Fix up trivial conflicts, mostly just due to the TTY config option
clashing with the EXPERIMENTAL removal.
