If the serial port being removed is used as a console, it must also be
unregistered from the console subsystem using unregister_console().

uart_ops.release_port() will release resources (e.g. iounmap() the serial
port registers), causing a crash on subsequent kernel output if the console
is still registered.

This brings up an interesting point:  where are the serial_core drivers
indicating to the tty core that the port is bound to a console?
IOW, I cannot find a single 'port->console = 1' anywhere in the serial tree.

It would be bad if the uart port disappears while a console is running
on it...
