From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 30572418b445d85fcfe6c8fe84c947d2606767d8 upstream. This driver needlessly took another reference to the tty on open, a reference which was then never released on close. This lead to not just a leak of the tty, but also a driver reference leak that prevented the driver from being unloaded after a port had once been opened.
