After commit b3b57646186400d4f ("tty: serial_core: convert uart_open to use tty_port_open") and 761ed4a94582ab291a ("tty: serial_core: convert uart_close to use tty_port_close"), TTY_IO_ERROR is set by tty_port_close() unconditionally, but cleared by tty_port_open() only when tty_port_initialized() return 0. This is a bug: If we use "console=ttyS*" in kernel parameters, the corresponding serial port's port->console will be true. When somebody close the serial port, tty_port_close() will return without calling tty_port_set_initialized(port, 0). Then, when it is opened again, tty_port_open() will not clear TTY_IO_ERROR, and serial port becomes unavailable at last. So, this patch clear TTY_IO_ERROR in uart_open() if tty_port_open() return 0.
