The function serial8250_probe_acpi() in 8250_platform.c triggered a
    frame size warning:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_platform.c: In function ‘serial8250_probe_acpi’:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_platform.c:152:1: warning: the frame size of 1160 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This patch reduces the stack usage by dynamically allocating the
`uart` structure using kzalloc(), rather than placing it on
the stack. This eliminates the overflow warning and improves kernel
robustness.

For cleanup (__free() in particular) we allow to mix definitions with the code
and it would be natural to have it a bit different

	struct resource *regs;
	int ret, line;

	struct uart_8250_port *uart __free(kfree) = kzalloc(sizeof(*uart), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!uart)
		return -ENOMEM;

(In your case just a blank line placement is one line above.)
