Subject: serial: apbuart.c: fix two problems related to grlib_apbuart_configure()
From: Miguel Ojeda <miguel.ojeda.sandonis@gmail.com>

I found two problems using the Simics' sunfire target, so maybe the
following does not occur in real machines.

1. At grlib_apbuart_configure() in apbuart.c, prop can be NULL if
   "clock-frequency" doesn't exist in the OF tree:

        /* Get bus frequency */
        rp = of_find_node_by_path("/");
        rp = of_get_next_child(rp, NULL);
        prop = of_get_property(rp, "clock-frequency", NULL);
        freq_khz = *prop;

2. In addition, apbuart.c does not check if there aren't any ports
   configured after calls to grlib_apbuart_configure(), so other oops will
   occur if no port was configured (e.g.  uart_set_options() because of
   port->ops).

In order to solve that, I added a check after both of the calls to
grlib_apbuart_configure().

The patch that I provide below prevents both problems in the Simics'
sunfire target.
