I guess that's already taken care of in  samsung_serial_remove(): it's
doing uart_remove_one_port(), which in turn does unregister_console().
So I don't think anything extra should be done on module exit. Or I'm
missing something?

That case (unload/load) actually doesn't work well in my case: serial
console doesn't work after doing "modprobe -r samsung_tty; modprobe
samsung_tty" (but it works fine e.g. in case of i2c_exynos5 driver).
Not sure what is wrong, but I can see that my board keeps running
(heartbeat LED is still blinking). Not even sure if that use case
(unload/load) was ever functional before.

Anyway, please let me know if you think something should be done about
this particular patch. Right now I don't see anything missing.
