Thanks for peeking into this!

Please note that driver->minors is one of the more embarrassing warts of the
gigaset code. It's basically hardcoded to 1 for all three drivers (including
bas_gigaset). So driver->cs itself is invalid here.

And since the patch uses
struct cardstate *cs = urb->context;

in a few places my guess is that it's really the patch that triggers this.

Thanks,
