Subject: [RFC] cdc-acm: Fix potential deadlock (lockdep warning)
We can't hold open_lock while calling tty_port_close_start, which takes
big_tty_mutex, because open_lock and big_tty_mutex are taken in the
opposite order when opening the device.
This means we need some other way of preventing the device state from
being freed before we're done cleaning up. Using the existing kref in
tty_port, we can let the TTY side and the USB side indenpendently signal
that they're done with the object, and free it when both are done.
Signed-off-by: Havard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@...gle.com>

How about something along these lines? I haven't tested it yet, and in fact I'm
a bit worried about the possible lack of symmetry between the tty_port_get() in
acm_tty_open() and the tty_port_put() in acm_tty_cleanup(). Is there any better
way to do this?
