dgnc_tty_write() is being called by dgnc_tty_put_char() and it is also
the write callback function of struct tty_operations, so I think the
correct fix will be to use from_user and make it 0 when
dgnc_tty_put_char() calls this function else make it 1 to inform the
function that the data wil be coming from the userspace. Maybe some
thing like this:
