Hello,

this is a pull request of 2 patches for net-next/master

The first patch introduces a new line discipline ID for the
TashTalk line discipline.

The second patch adds an Appletalk driver that serves as a
drop-in replacement for the old COPS LocalTalk driver. It
implements a line discipline that interfaces with a TashTalk
device, an open-source project that provides the proper SDLC
and FM0 encoding required on the LocalTalk bus. With a minimal
amount of supporting components, it becomes possible to connect
a modern PC to older devices (Macintoshes, Apple IIgs) on a
LocalTalk bus. It is compatibile out of the box with Netatalk
2.x and will also work with the upcoming 4.0 release which
re-introduces Appletalk support.

Kind Regards,
Rodolfo
