The port client data must be set when registering the serdev controller
or client deregistration will fail (and the serdev devices are left
registered and allocated) if the port was never opened in between.
Make sure to clear the port client data on any probe errors to avoid a
use-after-free when the client is later deregistered unconditionally
(e.g. in a tty-port deregistration helper).
Also move port client operation initialisation to registration. Note
that the client ops must be restored on failed probe.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
