SubjectRe: [PATCH] synclink fix ldisc buffer argument

pardon (I am just learning)
does 65535 mean HDLC_MAX_FRAME_SIZE ?
why do we need info->max_frame_size >= 4096 ?

in drivers/tty/synclink_gt.c:
3550 if (info->max_frame_size < 4096)
3551 info->max_frame_size = 4096;
3552 else if (info->max_frame_size > 65535)
3553 info->max_frame_size = 65535;
3554
...
3603 info->max_frame_size = 4096;


if possible:
can we move the relative comments (which are inside function) to the
location just above ldisc_receive_buf ?


thanks.

gchen.
