[arm-devs,v1,1/1] char/cadence_uart: Fix reset for unattached instances

commit 1db8b5efe0c2b5000e50691eea61264a615f43de introduced an issue
where QEMU would segfault if you have an unattached Cadence UART.

Fix by guarding the flush-on-reset logic on there being a qemu_chr
attachment.

There seem to be a lot of references to s->chr in this device:
is this really the only one which needs a guard against NULL?

thanks

Actually no,

We have had some corner cases where other dereferences have segfaulted
on us too. On my todo list to sweep and fix globally.

But this is unique and a much bigger problem than the rest, as it is
in the reset path. So even if the uart is present in system and unused
it segafaults.

Regards,
Peter

Applied to arm-devs.next.
