The line discipline buffer and the tty buffers must be flushed again after hardware shutdown; otherwise, a brief window exists between the ldisc flush in tty_port_close_start() and the subsequent tty_port_shutdown(), during which more data could be received into the tty buffers. A racing open might then be able to receive data from the previous session.
