commit8a1060ce97upstream. If an error occurs during probing, the sc16is7xx_lines bitfield may be left in a state that doesn't represent the correct state of lines allocation. For example, in a system with two SC16 devices, if an error occurs only during probing of channel (port) B of the second device, sc16is7xx_lines final state will be 00001011b instead of the expected 00000011b. This is caused in part because of the "i--" in the for/loop located in the out_ports: error path. Fix this by checking the return value of uart_add_one_port() and set line allocation bit only if this was successful. This allows the refactor of the obfuscated for(i--...) loop in the error path, and properly call uart_remove_one_port() only when needed, and properly unset line allocation bits. Also use same mechanism in remove() when calling uart_remove_one_port().

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.
