If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johan Hovold commit 5d8c61bc283826827e1f06816c146bfc507d3834 upstream. Make sure port data is initialised before creating sysfs attributes to avoid a race. A recent patch ("USB: io_ti: fix port-data memory leak") got the sysfs-attribute creation and port-data initialisation ordering wrong.
