Doing the following UART bind/unbind sequence on a i.mx platform causes
a kernel crash due to NULL pointer dereference:

echo  21f4000.serial > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/imx-uart/bind
echo  21f4000.serial > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/imx-uart/unbind

Fix this problem by adding NULL checks prior to calling release/request_port
ops.
