Drop the driver version of the line-coding request and use the protocol definition directly as was originally intended instead. This specifically avoids having the two versions of what is supposed to be the same struct ever getting out of sync. Note that this has in fact already happened once when the protocol definition had its implicit padding removed while the driver struct wasn't updated. The fact that we used the size of the then larger driver struct when memcpying its content to the stack didn't exactly make things better. A later addition of a flow-control field incidentally made the structures match again.

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.
