From: Colin Ian King <colin.k...@canonical.com>

Pointer port is dereferenced on port->private_data when assigning pointer
pdata before port is null checked, leading to a potential null pointer
dereference.  Fix this by assigning pdata after the null pointer check on
port.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1475434 ("Dereference before null check")

Fixes: 3b209d253e7f ("serial-uartlite: Do not use static struct uart_driver out 
of probe()")
