From 9e98966c7bb94355689478bc84cc3e0c190f977e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>

Subject: tty: rework break handling

Some hardware needs to do break handling itself and may have partial
support only. Make break_ctl return an error code. Add a tty driver flag
so you can indicate driver hardware side break support.
