Unfortunately it seems I overlooked the fact that rfcomm_dev_activate() is
called with the port->mutex held. So patches 2/3/4 cause a regression I missed
because I didn't turn on the appropriate debug options (circular locking
dependency, a bug report already appeared on this list).

I'm afraid this all stems from my partial knowledge of the tty_port code and
unfortunately I don't know how to solve the problem right now.

I think it's better to revert those patches for the moment.

Gianluca
