Second draft of patch #2, this addresses the review comments made by Aristeu Rozanski, now usb_set_serial_data() is only called when we are not returning -ENODEV Original description: Don't assign serial->private when doing the kzalloc or serial->private ends up pointing to freed memory in the event we return -ENODEV, instead call usb_set_serial_data(serial, data) at the end of the function, and only have one return-point.
