Hello Geert,

The imx_ports[] 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.

huh, this patch fixes itself?

I'd prefer an empty line here.

I would have used:

	if (sport->port.line >= ARRAY_SIZE(imx_ports))

which IMHO is better understandable

Note that the same overflow can happen when a device is probed using
platform data (and your commit fixes that, too). Maybe worth to point
out in the commit log?

Other than that: Good catch, thanks for your patch.

Best regards
