Parameter negotiation has been introduced with
commit 92f1f0c3290d ("tty: n_gsm: add parameter negotiation support")
However, means to set individual parameters per DLCI are not yet
implemented. Furthermore, it is currently not possible to keep a DLCI half
open until the user application sets the right parameters for it. This is
required to allow a user application to set its specific parameters before
the underlying link is established. Otherwise, the link is opened and
re-established right afterwards if the user application sets incompatible
parameters. This may be an unexpected behavior for the peer.
Add parameter 'wait_config' to 'gsm_config' to support setups where the
DLCI specific user application sets its specific parameters after open()
and before the link gets fully established. Setting this to zero disables
the user application specific DLCI configuration option.
Add the ioctls 'GSMIOC_GETCONF_DLCI' and 'GSMIOC_SETCONF_DLCI' for the
ldisc and virtual ttys. This gets/sets the DLCI specific parameters and may
trigger a reconnect of the DLCI if incompatible values have been set. Only
the parameters for the DLCI associated with the virtual tty can be set or
retrieved if called on these.
Add remark within the documentation to introduce the new ioctls.

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.
