[PATCH v3 8/8] serial: exar: fix: fix crash during shutdown if setup fails

From: Parker Newman
Date: Tue Apr 16 2024 - 08:58:25 EST


From: Parker Newman <pnewman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If a port fails to register with serial8250_register_8250_port() the
kernel can crash when shutting down or module removal.

This is because "priv->line[i]" will be set to a negative error code
and in the exar_pci_remove() function serial8250_unregister_port() is
called without checking if the "priv->line[i]" value is valid.
