4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 126d26f66d9890a69158812a6caa248c05359daa upstream.
Make sure we have at least one port before attempting to register a
console.
Currently, at least one driver binds to a "dummy" interface and requests
zero ports for it. Should such an interface also lack endpoints, we get
a NULL-deref during probe.
Fixes: e5b1e2062e05 ("USB: serial: make minor allocation dynamic")
