Then the allocated/initialized resources should be freed/released as well.

I'm considering adding the relevant code to the omap8250_startup and
omap8250_shutdown callback functions. However the serial driver
documentation claims that these don't have port->lock taken when
invoked, only port_sem.

Actually, "up" here in omap8250_probe is not a pointer but a struct
variable on stack, so copying the pointer to it is out of question.
