This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
USB: ftdi_sio: fix null deref at port probe
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.

Subject: USB: ftdi_sio: fix null deref at port probe
Fix NULL-pointer dereference when probing an interface with no
endpoints.
These devices have two bulk endpoints per interface, but this avoids
crashing the kernel if a user forces a non-FTDI device to be probed.
Note that the iterator variable was made unsigned in order to avoid
a maybe-uninitialized compiler warning for ep_desc after the loop.
Fixes: 895f28badce9 ("USB: ftdi_sio: fix hi-speed device packet size
calculation")
