Subject: [PATCH 3.2 13/59] [media] mceusb: fix NULL-deref at probe

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

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

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

commit 03eb2a557ed552e920a0942b774aaf931596eec1 upstream.

Make sure to check for the required out endpoint to avoid dereferencing
a NULL-pointer in mce_request_packet should a malicious device lack such
an endpoint. Note that this path is hit during probe.

Fixes: 66e89522aff7 ("V4L/DVB: IR: add mceusb IR receiver driver")
