That is really a good catch, but this modification looks not good to me.
First, serial8250_set_defaults()'s parameter 'up' updated in the loop below is used to
lead to different branch in this function. So that the logic is broken.
Second, up->port.iobase and up->port.iotype are both initialized to 0, so the 'serial_in'
and 'serial_out' will be assigned to the ops for IO space with port 0 here, i don't think
that is correct.
