It would be a good idea for someone to audit all the serial drivers. The basic idea is simple: The .port_probe and .port_remove methods should handle anything connected with an individual port. The .probe, .attach, .disconnect, and .release methods should handle things associated with the entire device, not with any particular port. They definitely should not call usb_get_serial_port_data(). It wouldn't be surprising to find that several of the drivers violate these rules.
