static void destroy_serial(struct kref *kref):

	/* the ports are cleaned up and released in port_release() */
	for (i = 0; i < serial->num_ports; ++i)
		if (serial->port[i]->dev.parent != NULL) {
			device_unregister(&serial->port[i]->dev);
			serial->port[i] = NULL;
		}

	if (serial->type->shutdown)
		serial->type->shutdown(serial);

IMHO shutdown() is using serial->port[] and bombs.
Could you reverse the order here?
