From: Andy Shevchenko andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com
commit e7f3e99cb1a667d04d60d02957fbed58b50d4e5a upstream.
Do not fail on multiport cards in serial_pci_is_class_communication().
It restores behaviour for SUNIX multiport cards, that enumerated by class and have a custom board data.
Moreover it allows users to reenumerate port-by-port from user space.
