[PATCH] serial moxa: fix wrong BUG

From: Kirill Smelkov
Date: Mon Oct 31 2005 - 05:22:31 EST


There is a wrong BUG in mxser_close.

The BUG is triggered when tty->driver_data == NULL,
But in fact this is not a bug, because tty->driver->close is called
even when tty->driver->open fails.

LDD3 tells us to do nothing in such cases.
