I see this was merged. Since I was not sure this patch is OK after your
comment, I reviewed the code now. It shouldn't be an issue right now,
exactly as you wrote. I.e. the device is stopped, ISR synchronized and
even then ->hangup sets tty to NULL.

I have a patch in my queue which converts all these guys to
tty_port_tty_get. This is needed before I can use tty_port_hangup
obviously. It is because the order there is opposite (set tty to NULL,
then shutdown everybody).

thanks for review,
