Subject: [PATCH] tty: always relink the port
Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2019 17:44:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191227174434.12057-1-sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com> (raw)

If the serial device is disconnected and reconnected, it re-enumerates
properly but does not link it. fwiw, linking means just saving the port
index, so allow it always as there is no harm in saving the same value
again even if it tries to relink with the same port.

Fixes: fb2b90014d78 ("tty: link tty and port before configuring it as console")
