[PATCH] serial: imx: fix NULL dereference Oops when pdata == NULL

From: Baruch Siach
Date: Wed Dec 16 2009 - 02:38:46 EST


The platform code doesn't have to provide platform data to get sensible default
behaviour from the imx serial driver.

This patch does not handle NULL dereference in the IrDA case, which still
requires a valid platform data pointer (in imx_startup()/imx_shutdown()), since
I don't know whether there is a sensible default behaviour, or should the
operation just fail cleanly.
