Subject: [PATCH 3.2 011/101] USB: serial: ftdi_sio: fix latency-timer
 error handling

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

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

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

commit e3e574ad85a208cb179f33720bb5f12b453de33c upstream.

Make sure to detect short responses when reading the latency timer to
avoid using stale buffer data.

Note that no heap data would currently leak through sysfs as
ASYNC_LOW_LATENCY is set by default.

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