Now that the SPDX tag is in all tty files, that identifies the license
in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text wording
can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.
This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.
No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.
Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.
This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() drops the tty lock while waiting
for the tty driver to finish sending previously accepted data (ie.,
data remaining in its write buffer and transmit fifo).
tty_wait_until_sent_from_close() was added by commit a57a7bf3fc
("TTY: define tty_wait_until_sent_from_close") to prevent the entire
tty subsystem from being unable to open new ttys while waiting for
one tty to close while output drained.
However, since commit 0911261d4c ("tty: Don't take tty_mutex for tty
count changes"), holding a tty lock while closing does not prevent other
ttys from being opened/closed/hung up, but only prevents lifetime event
changes for the tty under lock.
Holding the tty lock while waiting for output to drain does prevent
parallel non-blocking opens (O_NONBLOCK) from advancing or returning
while the tty lock is held. However, all parallel opens _already_
block even if the tty lock is dropped while closing and the parallel
open advances. Blocking in open has been in mainline since at least 2.6.29
(see tty_port_block_til_ready(); note the test for O_NONBLOCK is _after_
the wait while ASYNC_CLOSING).
IOW, before this patch a non-blocking open will sleep anyway for the
_entire_ duration of a parallel hardware shutdown, and when it wakes, the
error return will cause a release of its tty, and it will restart with
a fresh attempt to open. Similarly with a blocking open that is already
waiting; when it's woken, the hardware shutdown has already completed
to ASYNC_INITIALIZED is not set, which forces a release and restart as
well.
So, holding the tty lock across the _entire_ close (which is what this
patch does), even while waiting for output to drain, is equivalent to
the current outcome wrt parallel opens.

The HVCS driver, for those who don't know, is a driver for the "server" side
of the IBM virtual terminal mechanism allowing Linux partitions to act as
terminal servers under IBM PowerVM hypervisor. It's almost never used on
the field at the moment.
However, it's part of our configs, and in its current incarnation, will
allocate the tty driver & major (with 64 minors) and create a kernel thread
whether it's used or not, ie, whether the hypervisor did put a virtual
terminal server device node in the partition or not (or whether running on
a pseries machine or not even).
This in turns causes modern distro's udev's to start trying to open all
those 64 minors at boot, which, since they aren't linked to anything,
causes the driver to spew errors in the kernel log for each of them.
Not nice.
This moves all that initialization to a function which is now only called
the first time a terminal server virtual IO device is actually probed
(that is almost never).
There's still a _LOT_ of cleanup that can be done in this driver, some
simple (almost all printk's statements in there shall either just be
removed or in some case turned into better written & more informative
messages, including using the dev_* variants etc...). This is left as
an exercise for whoever actually cares about that driver.
One could also try to be smart and dispose of all the tty related
resources when the last instance of the VIO server device
is removed (Hotplug anybody ?).
