This is what I have in 8250_omap to make sure it does not get < 0:

         if (pdev->dev.of_node) {
                 ret = of_alias_get_id(pdev->dev.of_node, "serial");

                 of_property_read_u32(pdev->dev.of_node, "clock-frequency",
                                      &up.port.uartclk);
                 priv->wakeirq = irq_of_parse_and_map(pdev->dev.of_node, 1);
         } else {
                 ret = pdev->id;
         }
         if (ret < 0) {
                 dev_err(&pdev->dev, "failed to get alias/pdev id\n");
                 return ret;
         }
         up.port.line = ret;

but I didn't think of that others might pass < 0 since it wasn't used
before.
Does the original patch (you noted) break anything as of now? Because
then this patch should go stable.

Which second part?
Hmmm. You could use of_alias_get_id(port.dev->of_node, "serial") here,
correct. But I think additionally, since it won't work for the
non-DT devices like pure platform devices.
