I noticed that

  static void uart_flush_buffer(struct tty_struct *tty)
  {
   struct uart_state *state = tty->driver_data;
   struct uart_port *port = state->port;
   unsigned long flags;

   /*
    * This means you called this function _after_ the port was
    * closed.  No cookie for you.
    */
   if (!state || !state->info) {
   WARN_ON(1);
   return;
   }

is too late for checking state != NULL.
