[BUG] mixing 8250/16550 and AT91 serial ports causes oops

[Ryan Ordway <ryan.ordway@oregonstate.edu>]

I tracked down my oops. It looks to be a problem with mixing 8250/16550
serial ports and the AT91 ports on the Atmel AT91SAM9260-EK board. Here is
the oops:





Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
