[PATCH] amba-pl011: fix panic introduced by "clear pending interrupts"

patch 9b96fba, currently in linux-next, clears interrupts using
uap->port.membase that has not been assigned.  My x86 system,
that uses a pci-to-amba bridge, panics with a message like:

   BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000038
   IP: [<c12c85ed>] pl011_probe+0x119/0x303
