[PATCH] serial: pch_uart: potential dereference of null pointer

From: Jiasheng Jiang
Date: Thu Dec 16 2021 - 04:44:34 EST


The return value of dma_alloc_coherent() needs to be checked.
To avoid dereference of null pointer in case of the failure of alloc.

Fixes: ab4382d27412 ("tty: move drivers/serial/ to drivers/tty/serial/")
