commit f0992098cadb4c9c6a00703b66cafe604e178fea upstream.
Speakup exposing a line discipline allows userland to try to use it, while it is deemed to be useless, and thus uselessly exposes potential bugs. One of them is simply that in such a case if the line sends data, spk_ttyio_receive_buf2 is called and crashes since spk_ttyio_synth is NULL.
This change restricts the use of the speakup line discipline to speakup drivers, thus avoiding such kind of issues altogether.
