The series that fixes this design problem introduce in 3.10 are these
patches:

  staging: digi: Replace open-coded tty_wakeup()
  serial: 68328: Remove bogus ldisc reset
  bluetooth: hci_ldisc: Remove dead code
  NFC: nci: Remove dead code
  tty: Remove chars_in_buffer() line discipline method
  tty: Fix unsafe ldisc reference via ioctl(TIOCGETD)
  n_tty: Fix unsafe reference to "other" ldisc
  tty: Reset c_line from driver's init_termios
  staging/speakup: Use tty_ldisc_ref() for paste kworker
  tty: Fix comments for tty_ldisc_get()
  tty: Fix comments for tty_ldisc_release()
  tty: Prepare for destroying line discipline on hangup
  tty: Handle NULL tty->ldisc
  tty: Move tty_ldisc_kill()
  tty: Use 'disc' for line discipline index name
  tty: Refactor tty_ldisc_reinit() for reuse
  tty: Destroy ldisc instance on hangup

'tty: Fix unsafe ldisc reference via ioctl(TIOCGETD)' and
'tty: Fix unsafe reference to "other" ldisc' have already
made their way to most stable trees, afaict.

I doubt I'll submit any more of this series for stable;
it's just too invasive. I'll probably do it per-driver, like
your patch. Just an fyi.
