Doing port specific cleanup in the .port_remove hook is a
lot simpler and safer than doing it in the USB driver
.release or .disconnect methods. The removal of the port
from the usb-serial bus will happen before the USB driver
cleanup, so we must be careful about accessing port specific
driver data from any USB driver functions.

This problem surfaced after the commit

 0998d0631 device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound

which turned the previous unsafe access into a reliable NULL
pointer dereference.

Fixes the following Oops:

<title>USB: serial: rework usb_serial_register/deregister_drivers()</title>

<id>68e24113457e437b1576670f2419b77ed0531e9e</id>
<content type='text'>
This reworks the usb_serial_register_drivers() and
usb_serial_deregister_drivers() to not need a pointer to a struct
usb_driver anymore.  The usb_driver structure is now created dynamically
and registered and unregistered as needed.

This saves lines of code in each usb-serial driver.  All in-kernel users
of these functions were also fixed up at this time.  The pl2303 driver
was tested that everything worked properly.

Thanks for the idea to do this from Alan Stern.

This reworks the usb_serial_register_drivers() and
usb_serial_deregister_drivers() to not need a pointer to a struct
usb_driver anymore.  The usb_driver structure is now created dynamically
and registered and unregistered as needed.

This saves lines of code in each usb-serial driver.  All in-kernel users
of these functions were also fixed up at this time.  The pl2303 driver
was tested that everything worked properly.

Thanks for the idea to do this from Alan Stern.

This is now set by the usb-serial core, no need for the driver to
individually set it.

Thanks to Alan Stern for the idea to get rid of it.

dbg() was used a lot a long time ago to trace code flow.  Now that we have
ftrace, this isn't needed at all, so remove these calls.

This converts the ipw.c driver to use the module_usb_serial_driver() call
instead of having to have a module_init/module_exit function, saving a lot
of duplicated code.

This patch (as1525) modifies the following usb-serial drivers to
utilize the new usb_serial_{de}register_drivers() routines:

	io_edgeport, io_ti, ipaq, ipw, ir-usb, and iuu_phoenix.

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.
