The global pointer 'sprd_port' may not zero when sprd_probe returns failure, that is a risk for sprd_port to be accessed afterward, and may lead to unexpected errors. For example: There are two UART ports, UART1 is used for console and configured in kernel command line, i.e. "console="; The UART1 probe failed and the memory allocated to sprd_port[1] was released, but sprd_port[1] was not set to NULL; In UART2 probe, the same virtual address was allocated to sprd_port[2], and UART2 probe process finally will go into sprd_console_setup() to register UART1 as console since it is configured as preferred console (filled to console_cmdline[]), but the console parameters (sprd_port[1]) belong to UART2. So move the sprd_port[] assignment to where the port already initialized can avoid the above issue.
