Yes, but more importantly until the minor number has been allocated.

Correct, as long as it has been zeroed.

Yeah, and I wanted to keep the bits managed by the port reference count
together.

I considered reordering (it stands out a bit in my eyes too) but decided
to leave it in place to highlight the fact that the connection may be
freed before the rest of the state either way (since a user may hold a
reference to it).
[ A driver mustn't do I/O after remove() returns even if it might be
possible to keep the connection structure around. That would however be
complicated by the lack of reference counting on the bundle/interface
structures so I decided not to venture down that path. ]
Like you say, the order here doesn't really matter so I can move it up
if you prefer.
