So all I need is this?

static void ehv_bc_tty_hangup(struct tty_struct *ttys)
{
	struct ehv_bc_data *bc = ttys->driver_data;

	tty_port_hangup(&bc->port);
}

I've noticed that some drivers flush their transmit buffers before calling
tty_port_hangup(), but some others don't.  Should I do this too?  I don't know
if hangup should be as quick as possible.
