Johan Hovold c9ca201020 serdev: ttyport: restore client ops on deregistration
commit 0c5aae5927 upstream.

The serdev tty-port controller driver should reset the tty-port client
operations also on deregistration to avoid a NULL-pointer dereference in
case the port is later re-registered as a normal tty device.

Note that this can only happen with tty drivers such as 8250 which have
statically allocated port structures that can end up being reused and
where a later registration would not register a serdev controller (e.g.
due to registration errors or if the devicetree has been changed in
between).

Specifically, this can be an issue for any statically defined ports that
would be registered by 8250 core when an 8250 driver is being unbound.

Fixes: bed35c6dfa ("serdev: add a tty port controller driver")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
