Peter Hurley fa1da242c3 staging/fwserial: Create loop device the 'tty' way
Register a second tty driver to create loopback devices for
each firewire node. Note that the loopback devices are numbered
from 0; the tty->index is transformed when used to index the
port table.

Remove the hack that previously enabled this.

TODOs prior to this driver moving out of staging
------------------------------------------------
1. Implement retries for RCODE_BUSY, RCODE_NO_ACK and RCODE_SEND_ERROR
- I/O is handled asynchronously which presents some issues when error
conditions occur.
2. Implement _robust_ console on top of this. The existing prototype console
driver is not ready for the big leagues yet.
3. Expose means of controlling attach/detach of peers via sysfs. Include
GUID-to-port matching/whitelist/blacklist.
-- Issues with firewire stack --
1. This driver uses the same unregistered vendor id that the firewire core does
(0xd00d1e). Perhaps this could be exposed as a define in
firewire.h?
