Okay, so? Be imperative to the code base, tell it what to do in your
patch description.

You are destroying port which you didn't call (pf->gnss_tty_port[i])
for. Also, you are introducing a code duplication here with the error
path couple of lines below. Please convert this to goto-label error
path so the cleanup code is shared.
