2.6.30 PL2303 USB-serial: NULL ptr dereference

[Krzysztof Halasa]

Hi,

Not sure if the following has been reported. I think happened when
closing minicom, with the PL2303-based adapter still connected to USB.

usb 6-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 6-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial
usbserial: USB Serial Driver core
USB Serial support registered for pl2303
pl2303 6-1:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
usb 6-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303

Then after two hours, while exiting from minicom (most probably):

Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!

Few hours later:
usb 6-1: USB disconnect, address 4
pl2303 ttyUSB2: pl2303 converter now disconnected from ttyUSB2
pl2303 6-1:1.0: device disconnected

Additional details available on request.
