[PATCH 1/2] TTY: pmac_zilog, check existence of ports in pmz_console_init()

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Fri Nov 22 2013 - 10:47:43 EST


When booting a multi-platform m68k kernel on a non-Mac with "console=ttyS0"
on the kernel command line, it crashes with:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address (null)
Oops: 00000000
PC: [<0013ad28>] __pmz_startup+0x32/0x2a0
...
Call Trace: [<002c5d3e>] pmz_console_setup+0x64/0xe4

The normal tty driver doesn't crash, because init_pmz() checks
pmz_ports_count again after calling pmz_probe().

In the serial console initialization path, pmz_console_init() doesn't do
this, causing the driver to crash later.

Add a check for pmz_ports_count to fix this.
