Subject: [PATCH] serial: do not add port that is not initialized

[PATCH] serial: do not add port that is not initialized

if the port is not initialized with correct iobase, and membase, we don't
need to add that port.
for x86, when pnpacpi is enabled, we will not get extra ttyS1/ttyS2/ttyS3 in
/sys/devices/platform/serial8250/tty
