From a4720c650b68a5fe7faed2edeb0ad12645f7ae63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2009 12:43:12 -0400 Subject: USB: serial: don't call release without attach This patch (as1295) fixes a recently-added bug in the USB serial core. If certain kinds of errors occur during probing, the core may call a serial driver's release method without previously calling the attach method. This causes some drivers (io_ti in particular) to perform an invalid memory access. The patch adds a new flag to keep track of whether or not attach has been called.
