Samuel Thibault b0d4fa10bf speakup: Reject setting the speakup line discipline outside of speakup
commit f0992098ca upstream.

Speakup exposing a line discipline allows userland to try to use it,
while it is deemed to be useless, and thus uselessly exposes potential
bugs. One of them is simply that in such a case if the line sends data,
spk_ttyio_receive_buf2 is called and crashes since spk_ttyio_synth
is NULL.

This change restricts the use of the speakup line discipline to
speakup drivers, thus avoiding such kind of issues altogether.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
