This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: serial: ir-usb: add missing endpoint sanity check
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-next 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 also be merged in the next major kernel release

Subject: USB: serial: ir-usb: add missing endpoint sanity check
Add missing endpoint sanity check to avoid dereferencing a NULL-pointer
on open() in case a device lacks a bulk-out endpoint.
Note that prior to commit f4a4cbb2047e ("USB: ir-usb: reimplement using
generic framework") the oops would instead happen on open() if the
device lacked a bulk-in endpoint and on write() if it lacked a bulk-out
endpoint.
Fixes: f4a4cbb2047e ("USB: ir-usb: reimplement using generic framework")
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
