+
+The TTY drivers are advised to use struct tty_port helpers as much as possible.
+If the drivers implement :c:member:`tty_port.ops.activate()` and
+:c:member:`tty_port.ops.shutdown()`, they can use tty_port_open(),
+tty_port_close(), and tty_port_hangup() in respective
+:c:member:`tty_struct.ops` hooks.
+
+The reference and details are contained in the `TTY Port Reference`_ and `TTY
+Port Operations Reference`_ sections at the bottom.
