Subject: [PATCH 5.4 116/138] serial: 8250: fix null-ptr-deref in serial8250_start_tx()

From: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@...wei.com>

commit f4c23a140d80ef5e6d3d1f8f57007649014b60fa upstream.

I got null-ptr-deref in serial8250_start_tx():

SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is not defined on each arch, if it's not defined,
serial8250_set_defaults() won't be called in serial8250_isa_init_ports(),
so the p->serial_in pointer won't be initialized, and it leads a null-ptr-deref.
Fix this problem by calling serial8250_set_defaults() after init uart port.
