I've recently received a bug report on a tty driver that I maintain:
the problem is that when the driver is unloaded, the /dev/tty__ files
remain. [I thought that the /dev/tty__ files used to go away when the
module was unloaded.]
In my module_cleanup function I do this:
for each port:
tty_unregister_device(driver, portnum);
tty_port_destroy(&info->port)
tty_unregister_driver(driver);
put_tty_driver(driver);
What is that that is supposed to trigger removal of the char device
files? [When my uart drivers are unloaded, the /dev/tty__ files go
away, so there's something that serial_core is doing that my tty
driver needs to do...]
