The global pointer 'sprd_port' may not zero when sprd_probe returns
failure, that is a risk for sprd_port to be accessed afterward, and
may lead to unexpected errors.
For example:
There are two UART ports, UART1 is used for console and configured in
kernel command line, i.e. "console=";
The UART1 probe failed and the memory allocated to sprd_port[1] was
released, but sprd_port[1] was not set to NULL;
In UART2 probe, the same virtual address was allocated to sprd_port[2],
and UART2 probe process finally will go into sprd_console_setup() to
register UART1 as console since it is configured as preferred console
(filled to console_cmdline[]), but the console parameters (sprd_port[1])
belong to UART2.
So move the sprd_port[] assignment to where the port already initialized
can avoid the above issue.

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.
