How did this ever work?

Detaching the ll driver from the tty port in this manner is not ok;
as you already note, it blows up if consoles are still running.

No one unbinds serial drivers using serial_core, as all these drivers are
for fixed hardware?

Yep, never tested until now :)
Do you need this to work?

Hot-pluggable usb-serial doesn't use serial_core.

I guess none of the 8250 PCI adapters are hot-pluggable...

Peter Hurley
