[PATCH] tty: serial: uartlite: avoid null pointer dereference during rmmod

From: Kefeng Wang
Date: Mon May 13 2019 - 23:25:07 EST


After commit 415b43bdb008 "tty: serial: uartlite: Move uart register to
probe", calling uart_unregister_driver unconditionally will trigger a
null pointer dereference due to ulite_uart_driver may not registed.

Call uart_unregister_driver only if ulite_uart_driver.state not null to
fix it.
