From: Tkhai Kirill <tkhai@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit cb29529ea0030e60ef1bbbf8399a43d397a51526 ]

If a machine has X (X < 4) sunsu ports and cmdline
option "console=ttySY" is passed, where X < Y <= 4,
than the following panic happens:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
TPC: <sunsu_console_setup+0x78/0xe0>
RPC: <sunsu_console_setup+0x74/0xe0>
I7: <register_console+0x378/0x3e0>

1)Fix the panic;
2)Increment registered port number every successful
probe.
