The tty-driver open routine is mandatory, but the serdev
tty-port-controller implementation did not treat it as such and would
instead fall back to calling tty_port_open() directly.

The idea was to eventually get rid of the tty_struct dependency and
only depend on tty_port. That's very invasive though and needs various
pieces of tty_struct to move into tty_port.

Of course, tty_port_open itself would have to change as well, so this
change doesn't really matter.

So are you acking these patches?
