[PATCH 3.12 094/235] USB: serial: io_ti: fix another NULL-deref at open

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 4f9785cc99feeb3673993b471f646b4dbaec2cc1 upstream.

In case a device is left in "boot-mode" we must not register any port
devices in order to avoid a NULL-pointer dereference on open due to
missing endpoints. This could be used by a malicious device to trigger
an OOPS:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030
...
