From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit 76ab439ed1b68778e9059c79ecc5d14de76c89a8 upstream. Fix NULL-pointer dereference in open() should a type-0 or type-1 device lack the expected endpoints: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030 ... PC is at pl2303_open+0x38/0xec [pl2303] Note that a missing interrupt-in endpoint would have caused open() to fail.
