#1410339 — [PATCH v2 2/2] serial: samsung: Fix possible out of bounds access on non-DT platform

On non-DeviceTree platforms, the index of serial device is a static
variable incremented on each probe.  It is incremented even if deferred
probe happens when getting the clock in s3c24xx_serial_init_port().

This index is used for referencing elements of statically allocated
s3c24xx_serial_ports array.  In case of re-probe, the index will point
outside of this array leading to memory corruption.

Increment the index only on successful probe.

Not cc-ing stable because:
1. It is just a possibility, not really reproduced (I don't have non-DT
   platform).
2. I am not sure whether deferred probe may happen on non-DT platform.

Changes since v1:
1. New patch.
