From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

commit aa79f996eb41e95aed85a1bd7f56bcd6a3842008 upstream.

The cp2615 driver uses the USB device serial string as the i2c adapter
name but does not make sure that the string exists.

Verify that the device has a serial number before accessing it to avoid
triggering a NULL-pointer dereference (e.g. with malicious devices).
