USB: serial: io_ti: fix another NULL-deref at open

In case a device is left in "boot-mode" we must not register any port
devices in order to avoid a NULL-pointer dereference on open due to
missing endpoints. This could be used by a malicious device to trigger
an OOPS:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030
