patch "serial: max310x: Fix to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference" added to tty-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

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

    serial: max310x: Fix to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference

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: serial: max310x: Fix to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference

of_match_device can return a NULL pointer when matching device is not
found. This patch avoids a scenario causing NULL pointer derefernce.
