Subject[PATCH 3.10 005/129] TTY: pmac_zilog, check existence of ports in pmz_console_init()
Date
3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>

commit dc1dc2f8a5dd863bf2e79f338fc3ae29e99c683a upstream.

When booting a multi-platform m68k kernel on a non-Mac with "console=ttyS0"
on the kernel command line, it crashes with:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address (null)
Oops: 00000000
PC: [<0013ad28>] __pmz_startup+0x32/0x2a0
...
Call Trace: [<002c5d3e>] pmz_console_setup+0x64/0xe4

The normal tty driver doesn't crash, because init_pmz() checks
pmz_ports_count again after calling pmz_probe().

In the serial console initialization path, pmz_console_init() doesn't do
this, causing the driver to crash later.

Add a check for pmz_ports_count to fix this.
