Check for NULL port data in the modem- and line-status handlers to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer in the unlikely case where a port device isn't bound to a driver (e.g. after an allocation failure on port probe). Note that the other (stubbed) event handlers qt2_process_xmit_empty() and qt2_process_flush() would need similar sanity checks in case they are ever implemented.
