[PATCH 3.16 121/133] USB: serial: console: fix use-after-free after failed setup

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Tue Nov 21 2017 - 21:50:10 EST


3.16.51-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 299d7572e46f98534033a9e65973f13ad1ce9047 upstream.

Make sure to reset the USB-console port pointer when console setup fails
in order to avoid having the struct usb_serial be prematurely freed by
the console code when the device is later disconnected.
