  * 	This routine is called synchronously when a particular tty device
  *	is closed for the last time freeing up the resources.
+ *	Note that tty_shutdown() is not called if ops->shutdown is defined.
+ *	This means one is responsible to take care of calling ops->remove (e.g.
+ *	via tty_driver_remove_tty) and releasing tty->termios.
