Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: fix potential NULL-dereference at probe
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2016 12:56:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1477047387-828-1-git-send-email-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
Make sure we have at least one port before attempting to register a
console.
Currently, at least one driver binds to a "dummy" interface and requests
zero ports for it. Should such an interface also lack endpoints, we get
a NULL-deref during probe.
Fixes: e5b1e2062e05 ("USB: serial: make minor allocation dynamic")
