device as a console and the forced change causes a double open on the usb device which leads to a non obvious kernel oops later on when the tty is freed. To fix the problem instead make use of port->console to track if the port is in fact an active console port to avoid double initialization of the usb serial device. The port.count is incremented and decremented only with in the scope of usb_console_setup() for the purpose of the low level driver initialization.
