Ok, managed to reproduce it (in fact it happens at disconnection
time).
Frank, the second hunk of your patch fixes it, but the right
label is bailout_mutex_unlock. Like this:
diff --git a/drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c b/drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c
index 9c36f0e..0b7bc20 100644
--- a/drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c
+++ b/drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c
@@ -230,6 +230,7 @@ bailout_module_put:
module_put(serial->type->driver.owner);
bailout_mutex_unlock:
port->open_count = 0;
+ tty->driver_data = port->tty = NULL;
mutex_unlock(&port->mutex);
bailout_kref_put:
kref_put(&serial->kref, destroy_serial);
Could you redo and submit please?
