Subject: [PATCH 5.10 049/243] tty: serial: 8250: serial_cs: Fix a memory leak in error handling path

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

[ Upstream commit fad92b11047a748c996ebd6cfb164a63814eeb2e ]

In the probe function, if the final 'serial_config()' fails, 'info' is
leaking.

Add a resource handling path to free this memory.
