Hi,

The staging-next tree wasn't working for me, specially the usb modules.
So I took following steps:

1. Switch to kernel versio 4.10.0 (I guess others upto 4.10.8 will be
fine)

2. Copy drivers/staging/speakup directory from staging-next tree to
overwrite the one in 4.10.0.

3. Use the patch I have attached as the first patch instead of the one
in this email series ([patch 1/7] staging: speakup: export
tty_open_by_driver).

4. Apply rest of the patches in this patchset.

That worked for me. As I have mentioned before, apollo and double talk
lt worked fine but I haven't done thorough testing. If you have
questions about applying patches, do let me know.

Thanks,
Okash
