This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled USB: serial: quatech2: handle unbound ports 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. >From 9715a43eea77e42678a1002623f2d9a78f5b81a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2020 15:35:26 +0100 Subject: USB: serial: quatech2: handle unbound ports Check for NULL port data in the modem- and line-status handlers to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer in the unlikely case where a port device isn't bound to a driver (e.g. after an allocation failure on port probe). Note that the other (stubbed) event handlers qt2_process_xmit_empty() and qt2_process_flush() would need similar sanity checks in case they are ever implemented.
