If port->mapbase = NULL in serial8250_request_std_resource() , it need return a error code instead of 0. If uart_set_info() fail to request new regions by serial8250_request_std_resource() but the return value of serial8250_request_std_resource() is 0, The system incorrectly considers that the resource application is successful and does not attempt to restore the old setting. A null pointer reference is triggered when the port resource is later invoked.

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.
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.
