I initially noticed this oops on x86_64 running kernel 5.4.59 when I accidentally mistyped "ttyS0" as "ttyS9": modprobe speakup_dummy dev=ttyS9 x86_64/5.10-rc2 showed the same behaviour (see below), also 5.9.3 on RPi with the ttyAMA driver. I couldn't make the kernel warn/crash yet by specifying non-existent ttyUSB ports yet though. It looks like spk_ttyio or tty_dev_name_to_number() / tty_kopen() should perform some additional validation, as the missing tty->port is quite fatal. Here's the I got on 5.10-rc2: [ 49.967409] input: Speakup as /devices/virtual/input/input10 [ 49.967731] initialized device: /dev/synth, node (MAJOR 10, MINOR 61) [ 49.968848] speakup 3.1.6: initialized [ 49.968852] synth name on entry is: (null) [ 49.978421] synth probe [ 49.978477] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 49.978481] tty_init_dev: ttyS driver does not set tty->port.
