This patch allows the private_data field to be specified in
platform_data for the standard 8250/16550 UART. This field is used by
DW APB type UARTs and without this patch it's only possible to set
this field when registering the port by hand. If private_data is not
set then the
driver will potentially oops with a NULL pointer dereference.
