serial: 8250_exar: store the GPIO platform device in struct exar8250
The GPIO platform device is registered via platform->register_gpio() when port 0 is being set up. It is stored to port->port.private_data of the on-stack uart template (and from there it is copied into every registered port). pci_xr17v35x_exit() then fetches it back by serial8250_get_port(priv->line[0]). But port 0 does not have to exist at that point. If serial8250_register_8250_port() fails for port 0, priv->line[0] holds a negative error code. The probe still succeeds (it only breaks the loop), so on unbind, priv->line[0] (a negative value) is passed to serial8250_get_port(). The GPIO device is never unregistered and a bogus port is accessed. The same problem would also occur after the planned conversion of serial8250_register_8250_port() to return a uart port instead of a line. As Sashiko pointed out in that case: If board->setup() fails for the first port (i=0) in exar_pci_probe(), priv->uport[0] remains NULL. If serial8250_register_8250_port() fails, it returns an ERR_PTR. In either case, the loop breaks and probe returns success. When the device is later unbound, pci_xr17v35x_exit() unconditionally passes priv->uport[0] to platform->unregister_gpio(), which will dereference it without checking for validity. The GPIO device belongs to the PCI device, not to any particular port. So store it in a new struct exar8250::gpio member. Pass priv to both ->register_gpio() and ->unregister_gpio(), so that pci_xr17v35x_exit() does not need to look up any port at all.
