Subject: [PATCH 3.2 55/61] USB: serial: console: fix use-after-free after
 failed setup

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

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

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

commit 299d7572e46f98534033a9e65973f13ad1ce9047 upstream.

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.
