[PATCH 2/2] USB: serial: console: fix use-after-free after failed setup

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Wed Oct 04 2017 - 05:02:16 EST


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.
