TTY: con3215, centralize allocation
There are two copies of allocations of device information. One of them is totally broken. See: raw->cdev = cdev; raw->inbuf = (char *) raw + sizeof(struct raw3215_info); memset(raw, 0, sizeof(struct raw3215_info)); It suggests that this path was never executed. The code uses both raw->cdev and raw->inbuf all over. And it is NULL due to the memset here, so it would panic immediately. I believe nobody used that driver without being a system console. Either way, let us fix it by moving the allocations (and initializations) to a single place. This will save us some double initializations later too. And while at it, initialize the timer properly -- once, at the allocation.
