Re: [PATCH] keyspan: init termios properly

Hi All,

I've been too busy to get to this but i'd rather not use the code fragment i sent Boris to try. It would be better to go ahead with the tty setup if the pointer is not NULL, otherwise use the defaults and not reference the NULL pointer. I'll see if I can get to this today.

yes, after testing this i can confirm that this one fixes the NULL ptr
problem here so you might want to submit a proper patch to Greg.
I'll merge revert-keyspan-init-termios-properly.patch soon, but afaik we
are still awaiting the real fix for this problem?

Hi Andrew,
sorry for the late reply - i was away from the country and couldn't read mail.
Yes, we are still awaiting the real fix afaik but the code fragment above
removes the NULL ptr deref so we should at least merge that. Will prepare a
patch for this later today...
