I didn't find this sha1 - patch name is this one.

Below should be better fix for this driver.

Bummer, I totally screwed up my scripting...

Fixes: 928e9263492069ee ("tty: xuartps: Initialize ports according to aliases")

... the above check cannot be removed, as it is needed to support the loop
above to find an unused port.

You are right.
I have checked 4 patches I have sent in past which didn't reach mainline
(probably because of RFC)
Take a look at
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-serial/msg27106.html

I have removed cdns_uart_port array completely there.

Thanks,
Michal

Nice! I'd love to get rid of fixed arrays in serial...

However, IMHO it's still worthwhile to fix the out-of-bounds access first,
as that fix can be backported to stable kernels easily.

I agree with you. Not a problem with your patch and for me it won't be
problem to rebase.

I would love to get rid of CDNS_UART_NR_PORTS but unfortunately this is
passed to core via .nr.

Thanks,
Michal
