This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
commit 4f9785cc99feeb3673993b471f646b4dbaec2cc1 upstream.
In case a device is left in "boot-mode" we must not register any port
devices in order to avoid a NULL-pointer dereference on open due to
missing endpoints. This could be used by a malicious device to trigger
an OOPS:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030
