4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stefan Agner <stefan@xxxxxxxx> commit 3216c622a24b0ebb9c159a8d1daf7f17a106b3f5 upstream. The function tty_port_tty_get() gets a reference to the tty. Since the code is not using tty_port_tty_set(), the reference is kept even after closing the tty. Avoid using tty_port_tty_get() by directly access the tty instance. Since lpuart_start_rx_dma() is called from the .startup() and .set_termios() callback, it is safe to assume the tty instance is valid.
