From
Hi,

much better IMO.

Can't this fail? Like when racing with removal?

You should not call tty_port_destroy when you use refcounting. The port
is already destroyed when ->destruct() is called. (It has currently no
bad effect calling it twice on a port though.)

Couldn't you just put the port here? And inline rpmsg_tty_release_cport
into the new rpmsg_tty_destruct_port?
