This patch prevents execution of hvc_write() and hvc_hangup() after the tty layer has executed a final hvc_close() against a device. This patch provides a better method than was previously used. tty->driver_data is no longer invalidated so we'll no longer get oopses when the tty layer allows late hangup() and write() operations. - Removed silly tty->driver_data = NULL; from hvc_close which prevents possible oops in hvc_write() and hvc_hangup() due to improperly acting ldisc close ordering. - Added hp->count <= 0 check to hvc_write() and hvc_hangup() to prevent execution of these function after hvc_close() has been invoked by the tty layer. Same tty ldisc issues as above are the reason. - Added some comments to clarify the situation. - Awaiting a forth coming patch from Alan Cox which should clean up the close ordering and prevent the late hangup and write ops from happening.
