[PATCH][serial-next][V2] serial-uartlite: fix null pointer dereference on pointer port

From: Colin King
Date: Tue Nov 13 2018 - 04:43:28 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Pointer port is dereferenced on port->private_data when assigning pointer
pdata before port is null checked, leading to a potential null pointer
dereference. Fix this by assigning pdata after the null pointer check on
port.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1475434 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: 3b209d253e7f ("serial-uartlite: Do not use static struct uart_driver out of probe()")
