This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
tty: mxs-auart: fix a potential NULL 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: tty: mxs-auart: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference
In case ioremap fails, the fix returns -ENOMEM to avoid NULL
pointer dereferences.
Multiple places use port.membase.
