It continues with a part saying:
   Either indirectly by using tty_port refcounting
   (tty_port_put) or directly if refcounting is not used.

This is wrong. gsm_dlci_free is tty_port_operations->destruct, i.e.
n_gsm uses tty_port refcounting and tty_port_destroy was called on this
port in tty_port_destructor already.

Greg, please revert.
