[PATCH v2 3/9] serial: imx: Fix out-of-bounds access through serial port index

The imx_ports[] array is indexed using a value derived from the
"serialN" alias in DT, or from platform data, which may lead to an
out-of-bounds access.

Fix this by adding a range check.

Fixes: ff05967a07225ab6 ("serial/imx: add of_alias_get_id() reference back")

v2:
  - Fix Fixes reference,
  - Add blank line,
  - Use ARRAY_SIZE(),
  - Update patch description for platform data.
