This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: kobil_sct: fix NULL-deref in write
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

expected interrupt-out endpoint:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000054
