The cdns_uart_port[] array is indexed using a value derived from the
"serialN" alias in DT, which may lead to an out-of-bounds access.

Fix this by adding a range check.

Fixes: 1f118c02a1819856 ("serial: xuartps: Fix out-of-bounds access through DT alias")
I didn't find this sha1 - patch name is this one.
Bummer, I totally screwed up my scripting...

Fixes: 928e9263492069ee ("tty: xuartps: Initialize ports according to aliases")

Below should be better fix for this driver.
I considered that, too, but...
