Subject: [PATCH 5.0 079/146] tty: mxs-auart: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference

5.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Kangjie Lu <kjlu@....edu>

commit 6734330654dac550f12e932996b868c6d0dcb421 upstream.

In case ioremap fails, the fix returns -ENOMEM to avoid NULL
pointer dereferences.
Multiple places use port.membase.
