There are two parts which should be fixed. The first one is to assigned
uartps_major at the end of probe() to avoid complicated logic when
something fails.
The second part is initialized uartps_major number to 0 when last device is
removed. This will ensure that on next probe driver will ask for new
dynamic major number.
Fixes: ab26266601 ("serial: uartps: Use the same dynamic major number for all ports")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
