In drivers/tty/serial/arc_uart.c, arc_serial_remove always returns 0,

a port added using uart_add_one_port should be removed during
de-registration.

Is there a reason for this behavior?

Did you test the code to see if that function will ever be called?

I would like to reformulate the question: Suppose arc_serial_remove is never called. Then I would like to know how the driver de-registration is organized since the UART port is never removed?
