patch "staging: speakup: fix tty-operation NULL derefs" added to tty-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    staging: speakup: fix tty-operation NULL derefs

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: staging: speakup: fix tty-operation NULL derefs

The send_xchar() and tiocmset() tty operations are optional. Add the
missing sanity checks to prevent user-space triggerable NULL-pointer
dereferences.

Fixes: 6b9ad1c742bf ("staging: speakup: add send_xchar, tiocmset and input functionality for tty")
