I was scanning the regressions list and noticed that I could reproduce
this bug.

So I bisected it to commit 335f8514f200e63d689113d29cb7253a5c282967
("tty: Bring the usb tty port structure into more use"), from Alan
Cox.

I did not double check if reverting it from -rc4 fixes the issue,
but I noticed that this patch touches drivers/usb/serial/option.c, which
is the driver I used to test this problem.

If there is anything else I can do (give more info, test patches etc),
please let me know.
