ARM: OMAP4: Fix NULL pointer dereference crash.
After the patch series "[PATCH 00/14] OMAP PM fixes for .31-rc" merge in 2.6.31-rc5, the kernel crashed during boot on OMAP4430. This patch fixes it by adding UART4 support and related code. Without this patch omap_serial_init() would produce " NULL pointer dereference" and kernel crashes in the bootup on OMAP4430 platform. Some more info on the merge issue can be found here. More info- http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/8/20/192 Note: While merging this patch,"IO_ADDRESS" needs to be changed to "OMAP2_IO_ADDRESS" if the Tony's below series is already merged in. http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@vger.kernel.org/msg15072.html id = 3 instead of "PLAT8250_DEV_FOURPORT" as suggested by Kevin.
