In the context of the final tty & port close, flushing the tx ring buffer after the hardware has already been shutdown and the ring buffer freed is neither required nor desirable. uart_flush_buffer() performs 3 operations: 1. Resets tx ring buffer indices, but the tx ring buffer has already been freed and the indices are reset if the port is re-opened. 2. Calls uart driver's flush_buffer() method 5 in-tree uart drivers define flush_buffer() methods: amba-pl011, atmel-serial, imx, serial-tegra, timbuart These have been refactored into the shutdown() method, if required. 3. Kicks the ldisc for more writing, but this is undesirable. The file handle is being released; any waiting writer will will be kicked out by tty_release() with a warning. Further, the N_TTY ldisc may generate SIGIO for a file handle which is no longer valid.
