3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 957f4aca5fa0db69635271bc4621cc0b65b2d590 upstream. When the new_id entry in /sysfs is used for a foreign USB device, rtlwifi BUGS with a NULL pointer dereference because the per-driver configuration data is not available. The probe function has been restructured as suggested by Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: John W.
