[ Upstream commit63ffcbdad7] The code currently NULLs tty->driver_data in hvcs_close() with the intent of informing the next call to hvcs_open() that device needs to be reconfigured. However, when hvcs_cleanup() is called we copy hvcsd from tty->driver_data which was previoulsy NULLed by hvcs_close() and our call to tty_port_put(&hvcsd->port) doesn't actually do anything since &hvcsd->port ends up translating to NULL by chance. This has the side effect that when hvcs_remove() is called we have one too many port references preventing hvcs_destuct_port() from ever being called. This also prevents us from reusing the /dev/hvcsX node in a future hvcs_probe() and we can eventually run out of /dev/hvcsX devices. Fix this by waiting to NULL tty->driver_data in hvcs_cleanup().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
