I check against NULL. But let me ask again: the other drivers (for
example SA1100) don't do it. How they avoid the nasty NULL pointer
dereference?

done, I completely rewrote termios handling following Alan instructions.

I think no: perhaps it's just the probe of the second MAX3100 port
that failed so we cannot unegister the driver. And the user can try to
reprobe the MAX3100 via the bind entry. As I see it: driver
registration and port registration are 2 different things.

Sorry again for not having replied before resending the patch.
