Follow altera_jtag_uart.  This fixes a crash if there is a mistake in the DTS.

Is this something you have seen in the wild?  Is this something to be
backported to stable kernels?

Not that I know of. But nevertheless it might be worthwhile. Shall I
send the patch again with Cc: stable@kernel.org?

Nope, I can add it.

But, if this isn't something that you have seen, why is it needed to be
checked for?  What is this making work properly that isn't working
properly now?

thanks,
