* Original release 01/11/99
*
* This module implements the tty line discipline N_HDLC for use with
* tty device drivers that support bit-synchronous HDLC communications.
*
* All HDLC data is frame oriented which means:
*
* 1. tty write calls represent one complete transmit frame of data
* The device driver should accept the complete frame or none of
* the frame (busy) in the write method. Each write call should have
* a byte count in the range of 2-65535 bytes (2 is min HDLC frame
* with 1 addr byte and 1 ctrl byte). The max byte count of 65535
* should include any crc bytes required. For example, when using
* CCITT CRC32, 4 crc bytes are required, so the maximum size frame
* the application may transmit is limited to 65531 bytes. For CCITT
* CRC16, the maximum application frame size would be 65533.
*
*
* 2. receive callbacks from the device driver represents
* one received frame. The device driver should bypass
* the tty flip buffer and call the line discipline receive
* callback directly to avoid fragmenting or concatenating
* multiple frames into a single receive callback.
*
* The HDLC line discipline queues the receive frames in separate
* buffers so complete receive frames can be returned by the
* tty read calls.
*
* 3. tty read calls returns an entire frame of data or nothing.
*
* 4. all send and receive data is considered raw. No processing
* or translation is performed by the line discipline, regardless
* of the tty flags
*
* 5. When line discipline is queried for the amount of receive
* data available (FIOC), 0 is returned if no data available,
* otherwise the count of the next available frame is returned.
* (instead of the sum of all received frame counts).
*
* These conventions allow the standard tty programming interface
* to be used for synchronous HDLC applications when used with
* this line discipline (or another line discipline that is frame
* oriented such as N_PPP).
*
* The SyncLink driver (synclink.c) implements both asynchronous
* (using standard line discipline N_TTY) and synchronous HDLC
* (using N_HDLC) communications, with the latter using the above
* conventions.
*
* This implementation is very basic and does not maintain
* any statistics. The main point is to enforce the raw data
