Subject: [PATCH 4.14 189/205] staging: speakup: fix tty-operation NULL derefs

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

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

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

commit a1960e0f1639cb1f7a3d94521760fc73091f6640 upstream.

The send_xchar() and tiocmset() tty operations are optional. Add the
missing sanity checks to prevent user-space triggerable NULL-pointer
dereferences.

Fixes: 6b9ad1c742bf ("staging: speakup: add send_xchar, tiocmset and input functionality for tty")
