Commit 7c7e6c8924e7 ("tty: serial: handle HAS_IOPORT dependencies")
triggers warning backtraces on a number of platforms which don't support
IO ports.

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:470 serial8250_set_defaults+0x148/0x1d8
Unsupported UART type 0

The problem is seen because serial8250_set_defaults() is called for
all members of the serial8250_ports[] array even if that array is
not initialized.

Work around the problem by only displaying the warning if the port
type is not 0 (UPIO_PORT) or if iobase is set for the port.

A complete fix will require a sequence of patches, which will have to be
tested thoroughly and is thus not 6.13 material. This patch doesn't fix
the underlying problem, but it is good enough for 6.13, or at least not
worse than 6.12, while at the same time avoiding the warning backtrace.
