Hah. Just seconds after I sent that mail I hit this again. The stack traces
are exactly the same (except for different starting address of
flush_to_ldisc()).

The warnings are triggered by:

	struct usb_serial_port *port = tty->driver_data;
	...
	/* count is managed under the mutex lock for the tty so cannot
	   drop to zero until after the last close completes */
	WARN_ON(!port->port.count);

BTW, Couple of minutes earlier I got this message:

[  201.629616] cp210x ttyUSB0: usb_serial_generic_resubmit_read_urb - failed resubmitting read urb, error -1

But after that I disconnected and reconnected the device, so this is probably
not relevant here.
