[ Upstream commit b6c8dafc9d86eb77e502bb018ec4105e8d2fbf78 ]
When userland echoes 8bit characters to /dev/synth with e.g.
echo -e '\xe9' > /dev/synth
synth_write would get characters beyond 0x7f, and thus negative when
char is signed. When given to synth_buffer_add which takes a u16, this
would sign-extend and produce a U+ffxy character rather than U+xy.
Users thus get garbled text instead of accents in their output.
Let's fix this by making sure that we read unsigned characters.

This patch fixes a segfault by adding a null check on synth in
speakup_con_update(). The segfault can be reproduced as follows:
- Login into a text console
- Load speakup and speakup_soft modules
- Remove speakup_soft
- Switch to a graphics console
This is caused by lack of a null check on `synth` in
speakup_con_update().
Here's the sequence that causes the segfault:
- When we remove the speakup_soft, synth_release() sets the synth
to null.
- After that, when we change the virtual console to graphics
console, vt_notifier_call() is fired, which then calls
speakup_con_update().
- Inside speakup_con_update() there's no null check on synth,
so it calls synth_printf().
- Inside synth_printf(), synth_buffer_add() and synth_start(),
both access synth, when it is null and causing a segfault.
Therefore adding a null check on synth solves the issue.

Pull tty / serial driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of tty and serial driver changes for 6.0-rc1.
It was delayed from last week as I wanted to make sure the last commit
here got some good testing in linux-next and elsewhere as it seemed to
show up only late in testing for some reason.
Nothing major here, just lots of cleanups from Jiri and Ilpo to make
the tty core cleaner (Jiri) and the rs485 code simpler to use (Ilpo).
Also included in here is the obligatory n_gsm updates from Daniel
Starke and lots of tiny driver updates and minor fixes and tweaks for
other smaller serial drivers.
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems"

Users needing it with the dectlk synth report that a 100ms flush delay
is still noticeable and prefer to set it to e.g. 10ms. This leaves the
default to 4000ms (since hitting it is a sign that the cable is faulty
and should be replaced), but allows to set it as short as 10ms.
