Subject: [PATCH 5.6 03/10] serial: sprd: Fix a dereference warning

From: Lanqing Liu <liuhhome@...il.com>

commit efc176929a3505a30c3993ddd393b40893649bd2 upstream.

We should validate if the 'sup' is NULL or not before freeing DMA
memory, to fix below warning.

"drivers/tty/serial/sprd_serial.c:1141 sprd_remove()
 error: we previously assumed 'sup' could be null (see line 1132)"

Fixes: f4487db58eb7 ("serial: sprd: Add DMA mode support")
