Subject: [PATCH 5.6 159/167] Revert "serial: uartps: Fix error path when alloc failed"

From: Michal Simek <michal.simek@...inx.com>

commit b6fd2dbbd649b89a3998528994665ded1e3fbf7f upstream.

This reverts commit 32cf21ac4edd6c0d5b9614368a83bcdc68acb031.

As Johan says, this driver needs a lot more work and these changes are
only going in the wrong direction:
