Subject: [PATCH] xhci: dbgtty: fix device unregister
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When DbC is disconnected then xhci_dbc_tty_unregister_device()
is called. However if there is any user space process blocked
on write to DbC terminal device then it will never be signalled
and thus stay blocked indifinitely.

This fix adds a tty_vhangup() call in xhci_dbc_tty_unregister_device().
The tty_vhangup() wakes up any blocked writers and causes subsequent
write attempts to DbC terminal device to fail.
