The serdev tty-port controller driver should reset the tty-port client
operations also on deregistration to avoid a NULL-pointer dereference in
case the port is later re-registered as a normal tty device.
Note that this can only happen with tty drivers such as 8250 which have
statically allocated port structures that can end up being reused and
where a later registration would not register a serdev controller (e.g.
due to registration errors or if the devicetree has been changed in
between).
Specifically, this can be an issue for any statically defined ports that
would be registered by 8250 core when an 8250 driver is being unbound.
Fixes: bed35c6dfa6a ("serdev: add a tty port controller driver")
