Subject: serial: samsung: Fix ERR pointer dereference on deferred probe
From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <k.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e51e4d8a185de90424b03f30181b35f29c46a25a upstream.
When the clk_get() of "uart" clock returns EPROBE_DEFER, the next re-probe
finishes with success but uses invalid (ERR_PTR) values. This leads to
dereferencing of ERR_PTR stored under ourport->clk:
12c30000.serial: Controller clock not found
(...)
12c30000.serial: ttySAC3 at MMIO 0x12c30000 (irq = 61, base_baud = 0) is a S3C6400/10

The first unsuccessful clk_get() causes s3c24xx_serial_init_port() to
exit with failure but the s3c24xx_uart_port is left half-configured
(e.g. port->mapbase is set, clk contains ERR_PTR). On next re-probe,
the function s3c24xx_serial_init_port() will exit early with success
because of configured port->mapbase and driver will use old values,
including the ERR_PTR as clock.
Fix this by cleaning the port->mapbase on error path so each re-probe
will initialize all of the port settings.
Fixes: 60e93575476f ("serial: samsung: enable clock before clearing pending interrupts during init")
