[PATCH] serial: sccnxp: Fix potential stale ports after IRQ request failure
From: Guangshuo Li
Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 08:12:52 EST
The ports are registered before the interrupt is requested. If that
request fails, unregistering the UART driver frees its state array
while the registered ports still refer to it.
Check each port registration and remove the ports already registered
before unwinding the UART driver on either failure path.
This issue was found by our static analysis tool under development.
