Hello development folks,

just to make sure I am not about to submit another breaking patch: Is there a=
ny
legitimate reason why a non-privileged user shall load kernel modules on an I=
PFire
machine during its runtime?

Personally, I am only aware of some connection tracking stuff, but these requ=
ire
a reboot, thus being out of scope. Unless I overlooked something else, I woul=
d like
to file a patch turning dev.tty.ldisc_autoload to 0. :-)

(Further information is available at https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/4/15/890)

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter M=C3=BCller
