You can replace the rest with

return tty_port_open(port, tty, filp);
}

and
tty_port_close(port, tty, filp);

which saves a lot of work

These two can't happen if you use tty_port_* so it is better to blow up.
If you think you may be seeing it occur then use WARN_ON() or similar

And this is serialized by the caller (not that having your own lock is
any harm)

Ok that wasn't quite what I had in mind.

What I was thinking was needed was this

/* Stop TIOCCONS */
case TIOCCONS:
return -EOPNOTSUPP;

only it won't work that way. I'll sort that out in tty_io.c once the
driver is happy. That way anything trying to mis-redirect the console
will get stopped early which is probably more reliable than a ratelimit ?

It's static so that isn't needed

> + spin_lock_init(&tpk_port.lock);

The one other bit you will need to use the helpers is

struct tty_port_operations null_ops = { };

tpk_port.port->ops = &null_ops;
