#1465816 — Re: [PATCH] serial: 8250_fintek: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

Hi Peter

Somehow this patch entered my mail limbo. Sorry about that.

Could you remove the brackets on the if/else? I think that for one
liners they are not recommended.

Also, I think it might be a good a idea to remove the __func__ from
the dev_warn.

Best regards!
