Origin patch looks good to me but this checking will be good to add.
Are you using of_serial.c because I didn't find any of_alias_get_id call
for 8250?
Your logic here is a little bit different than I have in my tree.
(Some sort of pl011 solution). You don't need to failed if you port.line is
below 0 but if you are not able to read aliases port enumeration
may be unpredictable.
Thanks,
