problem when testing with ttyUSB

Hi,

I am testing Apollo and DoubleTalk LT using USB serial converter, so
over ttyUSB0. In the call to tty_open_by_driver I am passing in (188,0).
TTY opens without errors and ldsic is assigned too. But as soon as an
operation is called on the tty_struct, there is a general protection or
segmentation fault. Following is call trace from Apollo calling
speakup_tty->ops->write. Similar call trace results from ltlk calling
tty_write_room(speakup_tty) through spk_ttyio_synth_immediate.
Kernel version is 4.10 but i'm using the speakup code from
Greg K-H staging-next branch as that's what my patches apply to. Could
this be the problem?

I'm investigating it but any hints to speed it up will be helpful.

Thanks.
