Johan Hovold 86b20677e8 tty: clarify that not all ttys have a class device 
Commit 30004ac9c0 ("tty: add tty_struct->dev pointer to corresponding
device instance") added a struct device pointer field to struct
tty_struct which was populated with the corresponding tty class device
during initialisation.

Unfortunately, not all ttys have a class device (e.g. pseudoterminals
and serdev) in which case the device pointer will be set to NULL,
something which have bit driver authors over the years.

In retrospect perhaps this field should never have been added, but let's
at least document the current behaviour.

README 

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.
