It seems routing can be NULL here if the file is read while the device
is being unbound, and uart_routing_store() has the same problem.

I hit this while testing v2 on arm64 (next-20261008 with KASAN), and the
code is unchanged in v3.

        d=/sys/bus/platform/devices/$DEV
        drv=/sys/bus/platform/drivers/aspeed-uart-routing
        while :; do cat $d/uart1; done >/dev/null 2>&1 &
        while :; do echo $DEV > $drv/unbind; echo $DEV > $drv/bind; done

and then got:

    KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
    Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000006 [#1]  SMP
