OK, here more data points:

My test is to insert GPS card and do a 'cat /dev/ttySDIO0' and watch 
NMEA data scrolling by.

With "sdio_uart: Move the open lock" applied, I can pull the card out 
and the cat process terminates.  However inserting the card back and 
repeating the test again always gives me:

	cat: /dev/ttySDIO0: Input/output error

until I reboot.  Same thing happens if I terminates cat with ^C and 
start it again.

With "sdio_uart: Switch to the open/close helpers" applied, things got 
even worse.  Interrupting cat with ^C still gives the same result as 
above.  But yanking the card out when cat is still running doesn't 
terminate cat unless I ^C it at which point the kernel crashes with a 
BUG().  The backtrace is:

Only after backing out those 2 patches as wellas "sdio_uart: refcount 
the tty objects" is the correct behavior restored.
