This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: st-asc: Potential error pointer dereference
to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-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: serial: st-asc: Potential error pointer dereference
It looks like we intended to return an error code here, because we
dereference "ascport->pinctrl" on the next lines.
Fixes: 6929cb00a501 ("serial: st-asc: Read in all Pinctrl states")
