I like your suggestion, however I feel the commit message fails to appreciate the error path this patch addresses as well, so I adapted your suggested commit message to the following: --- [PATCH] serial: vt8500: add missing braces Due to missing braces on an if statement, in presence of a device_node a port was always assigned -1, regardless of any alias entries in the device tree. Conversely, if device_node was NULL, an unitialized port ended up being used. This patch adds the missing braces, fixing the issues.
