kern/166866: [build] [cy] cy(4) driver breaks kernel build in 8.3

[John D. Hendrickson and Sara Darnell]

a "revision" that breaks not only software but hardware...

is CERTAINLY not a subrevision (ie, 8.3) but a major revision (ie, 9.x)

I've used "advanced TTY" and myself see 0 no null ZERO improvement.  I'd rather have the drivers 
fixed before they implement.  You know some drivers not compiling aren't the ONLY thing altered tty 
effects.

It seems somewhere around 8.2 "stable" become "free for all break whatever you please".
