I re-look the code and do some tests, I found the checking is
necessary. Cause we get the port number from the console->index, if
the cmdline is not set the ttyGS0 as the console, the console->index
will be -1 that is a wrong value. Also the serial.c file will create 1
usb-to-seial port as default (default n_ports = 1), so we need to
check the port and the endpoint of the port. So I think here checking
is necessary and I have tested it.
