The line numbers are not important and they change all the time.
Instead say "if pcim_iomap() or lpss->board->setup() fail then ...".

Just say "Use a goto to release this memory".  No need to explain
further.

This is the wrong hash and the format is wrong.  It should be:

Fixes: 254cc7743e84 ("serial: 8250_lpss: Switch over to MSI interrupts")

This needs to be:

	if (!uart.port.membase) {
		ret = -ENOMEM;
		goto free_irq_vectors;
	}
