Subject: [PATCH 3.2 073/199] USB: serial: kobil_sct: fix NULL-deref in write

3.2.87-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 21ce57840243c7b70fbc1ebd3dceeb70bb6e9e09 upstream.

Fix NULL-pointer dereference in write() should the device lack the
expected interrupt-out endpoint:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000054
...
PC is at kobil_write+0x144/0x2a0 [kobil_sct]

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: add this check to the existing
 usb_serial_driver::attach implementation]
