Code style fixes for speakup kernel driver

[Tony Baechler]

Hi,

Yes, this is the correct list for Speakup development.  Someone can correct 
me on this, but I don't think any major changes have been done to Speakup in 
years.  One thing which would be really helpful is if you could please find 
a way to get serial synthesizers to work in kernels after 2.6.32 without 
locking up the machine.  On both 3.19 and 4.0, loading the speakup_dectlk 
module locks up the system every time.  Apparently there are ways to fix 
this, but they also involve patches and it would be better if the patches 
were not necessary.  I am not a programmer, but I don't think this would be 
too hard to fix.  Others can post on the specific code changes or you can 
search the Speakup list archives.  Your help with this would be very 
appreciated.
