I need to look at the actual diff, but the combination looks completely
bogus unless I'm misreading the fixup which is possible.

The way the core serial code and most other drivers do this is to keep
track of the port ASYNC_INITIALIZED flag, which indicates (in the non USB
cases but trivially fixable for the USB cases) that the port hardware is
initialized. We now set it on an open but we don't clear it on
serial_do_down() finishing.
