staging: speakup: add send_xchar, tiocmset and input functionality for tty
This patch adds further TTY-based functionality, specifically implementation of send_xchar and tiocmset methods, and input. send_xchar and tiocmset methods simply delegate to corresponding TTY operations. For input, it implements the receive_buf2 callback in tty_ldisc_ops of speakup's ldisc. If a synth defines read_buff_add method then receive_buf2 simply delegates to that and returns. For spk_ttyio_in, the data is passed from receive_buf2 thread to spk_ttyio_in thread through spk_ldisc_data structure. It has following members: - char buf: represents data received - struct semaphore sem: used to signal to spk_ttyio_in thread that data is available to be read without having to busy wait - bool buf_free: this is used in comination with mb() calls to syncronise the two threads over buf receive_buf2 only writes to buf if buf_free is true. The check for buf_free and writing to buf are separated by mb() to ensure that spk_ttyio_in has read buf before receive_buf2 writes to it. After writing, it ups the semaphore to signal to spk_ttyio_in that there is now data to read. spk_ttyio_in waits for data to read by downing the semaphore. Thus when signalled by receive_buf2 thread above, it reads from buf and sets buf_free to true. These two operations are separated by mb() to ensure that receive_buf2 thread finds buf_free to be true only after buf has been read. After that spk_ttyio_in calls tty_schedule_flip for subsequent data to come in through receive_buf2.
