serial: imx: fix a possible NULL dereference

montjoie · gregkh · commit 5f8b90431fc9 · 2015-12-13T19:59:48.000-08:00
of_match_device could return NULL, and so cause a NULL pointer
dereference later.
Even if the probability of this case is very low, fixing it made
static analyzers happy.
Solving this with of_device_get_match_data made also code simplier.
