[PATCH] Possible null pointer in drivers/serial/core.c

[Paul Larson]

In core.c:uart_startup() line 210 I found a possible null pointer
dereference at line 210:
 if (info->tty->termios->c_cflag & CBAUD)

There are other things around that same area that do the checking for
info->tty before dereferencing it, so either they are unneeded, or this
one needs a check too.

Thanks,
Paul Larson
