From: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>

It's valid for the caller to pass a NULL chardev to pl011_create();
this means "don't set the chardev property on the device", which
in turn means "act like there's no chardev". All the chardev
frontend APIs (in C, at least) accept a NULL pointer to mean
"do nothing".

This fixes some failures in 'make check-functional' when Rust support
is enabled.
