sci_request_irq() checks port->irqstr[j] for a NULL pointer, to decide
if a fallback interrupt name string should be allocated or not.
While this string is freed during port shutdown, the pointer is not
zeroed. Hence on a subsequent startup of the port, it will still be
pointing to the freed memory, leading to e.g.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 404 at fs/proc/generic.c:388 __proc_create+0xbc/0x260
name len 0
or to a crash (the latter is more likely with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, due
to the poisoning of freed memory).
Instead of zeroeing the pointer at multiple places, preinitialize
port->irqstr[j] to zero to fix this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
