All other functions follow the same style here. Nevertheless, I will
replace the tabs with spaces. Originally, I had planned a code clean-up
after committing all the changes from my original RFC.

No, checkpatch did not warn about this and all other functions follow the
same style. I will remove the blank line.

I assume that this is the expected behavior for TIOCMIWAIT. The functions
returns if:
- the requested modem signal changed
- the wait function got interrupted (e.g. by a signal)
- the underlying DLCI was closed
- the underlying ldisc device was removed

I can add that the function returns immediate if a mask has been passed
which matches no modem signal if this is preferred?
