The console port (qcom_geni_console_port) is a static instance whose

Only the non-console path in get_port_from_line() calls ida_alloc_range().

Fix the qcom_geni_serial_remove() and the matching probe() error path
so unbinding the console device doesn't hit:

WARNING: ida_free called for id=0 which is not allocated

qcom_geni_serial_remove+0x58/0x80

GPT points out this will always return false before uart_add_one_port()
is called

You can use if (data->console) instead

Yep will do

Thanks
