Good catch.

Gustavo,

There's no direct dependency; ie., there aren't merge issues here.
We should progress with the fixes to rfcomm independent of this patch.

As Gustavo points out, please inline the patch otherwise commenters
have to do it for you.

Copy of the Gianluca's patch with my comments

--- %< ---

Please put a proper commit message here, including that this is
a regression and the commit id that caused the regression so this patch
can eventually make its way to stable.

tty_kref_put() already checks for NULL tty. I would prefer:

{
struct tty_struct *tty = tty_port_tty_get(port);
if (tty && (!check_clocal || !C_CLOCAL(tty)))
tty_hangup(tty);
tty_kref_put(tty);
}
