Subject: [ 149/187] USB: metro-usb: fix tty_flip_buffer_push use

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@...il.com>

commit b7d28e32c93801d60c1a7a817f774a02b7bdde43 upstream.

Do not set low_latency flag at open as tty_flip_buffer_push must not be
called in IRQ context with low_latency set.
