Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tty_port,usb-console: Fix usb serial console open/close regression

Commit e1108a63e10d344284011cccc06328b2cd3e5da3 ("usb_serial: Use the
shutdown() operation") breaks the ability to use a usb console
starting in 2.6.33.  This was observed when using
console=ttyUSB0,115200 as a boot argument with an FTDI device.  The
error is:

ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: ftdi_submit_read_urb - failed submitting read urb, error -22

The handling of the ASYNCB_INITIALIZED changed in 2.6.32 such that in
tty_port_shutdown() it always clears the flag if it is set.  The fix
is to add a variable to the tty_port struct to indicate when the tty
port is a console.
