The code currently NULLs tty->driver_data in hvcs_close() with the intent of informing the next call to hvcs_open() that device needs to be reconfigured. However, when hvcs_cleanup() is called we copy hvcsd from tty->driver_data which was previoulsy NULLed by hvcs_close() and our call to tty_port_put(&hvcsd->port) doesn't actually do anything since &hvcsd->port ends up translating to NULL by chance. This has the side effect that when hvcs_remove() is called we have one too many port references preventing hvcs_destuct_port() from ever being called. This also prevents us from reusing the /dev/hvcsX node in a future hvcs_probe() and we can eventually run out of /dev/hvcsX devices.
Fix this by waiting to NULL tty->driver_data in hvcs_cleanup().
