Since slcan_devs array contains the addresses of the created devices, I
think it is more natural to use its address to remove it from the list.
It is not necessary to store the index of the array that points to the
device in the driver's private data.

IMO this patch should not be part of the slcan enhancement series.

I can see the "miss-use" of dev->base_addr but when we change this code 
we should also take care of a similar handling in drivers/net/slip/slip.c

Therefore a change like this should be done in slcan.c and slip.c 
simultaneously with a single patch.

Best regards,
Oliver
