In binding.txt, you write:

I have two drivers (drivers/s390/char/tape.c and drivers/s390/net/ctcmain.c)
that might have problems with this. S390 tapes are available through two
interfaces, a character device implementing the standard tape interface
and a block device that allows you to mount a filesystem written to a tape
(unlike most tape drives, they allow random access reads).
CTC (channel to channel) is a point-to-point connection between two machines
and can be used either as a tty device or as a network device.
Do you have any idea how I can map this to correct driver classes?
