If port->mapbase = NULL in serial8250_request_std_resource() , it need
return a error code instead of 0. If uart_set_info() fail to request new
regions by serial8250_request_std_resource() but the return value of
serial8250_request_std_resource() is 0, The system incorrectly considers
that the resource application is successful and does not attempt to
restore the old setting. A null pointer reference is triggered when the
port resource is later invoked.
