Is there any reason for the fact that the line discipline is not reset by the kernel , when closing the device. 

Is that really so? While testing a line discipline I have written
myself (N_GIGASET_M101) I came to the opposite conclusion.

Specifically, when I set the line discipline on eg. /dev/ttyS1 to
N_GIGASET_M101 from the user space daemon I have written for that
purpose, and that user space daemon exits, my line discipline is
removed, ie. its .close method is called. That is true even if I
kill the user space daemon by sending it an uncaught signal.
