2.6.39-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Alexander Stein <[email protected]> commit fb139dfeef9558a12ffdbf9e26951fd1a9304f3b upstream. If dmi_get_system_info() returns NULL, pch_uart_init_port() will dereferencea a zero pointer. This oops was observed on an Atom based board which has no BIOS, but a bootloder which doesn't provide DMI data.
