Subject: [08/29] nozomi: quick fix for the close/close bug

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Alan Cox <alan@...ux.intel.com>

commit eeec32a731631a9bad9abb21c626b9f2840bee0d upstream.

Nozomi goes wrong if you get the sequence

	open
	open
	close

	[stuff]
	close

which turns out to occur on some ppp type setups.

This is a quick patch up for the problem. It's not really fixing Nozomi
which completely fails to implement tty open/close semantics and all the
other needed stuff. Doing it right is a rather more invasive patch set and
not one that will backport.
