Thanks Geert, I'm queuing it for the 3.5 and 3.11 kernels as well.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address (null)
Oops: 00000000

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.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
