Hi,
not sure that I understand your point, because SC16IS7XX_MAX_PORTS is
the maximum for all devices supported by this driver. The irda_port
array always has a fixed number of elements set to SC16IS7XX_MAX_PORTS,
even if the device that we are probing has only one port for example.

But I can change it back to ARRAY_SIZE(irda_port) if you want.

This check is only there if we add support for a new device and we
incorrectly set nr_uart to an incorrect value, which will cause other
problems anyway, of course :)

This could be removed.
