This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix NULL-deref at open
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.

Subject: USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix NULL-deref at open
Fix NULL-pointer dereference when initialising URBs at open should a
non-EPIC device lack a bulk-in or interrupt-in endpoint.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000028
...
PC is at edge_open+0x24c/0x3e8 [io_edgeport]
Note that the EPIC-device probe path has the required sanity checks so
this makes those checks partially redundant.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
