Subject: serdev: fix tty-port client deregistration
From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit aee5da7838787f8ed47f825dbe09e2812acdf97b upstream.
The port client data must be set when registering the serdev controller
or client deregistration will fail (and the serdev devices are left
registered and allocated) if the port was never opened in between.
Make sure to clear the port client data on any probe errors to avoid a
use-after-free when the client is later deregistered unconditionally
(e.g. in a tty-port deregistration helper).
Also move port client operation initialisation to registration. Note
that the client ops must be restored on failed probe.
