Subject: [PATCH 3.16 017/136] USB: serial: keyspan: fix NULL-derefs on
 open() and write()

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

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

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

commit 7d7e21fafdbc7fcf0854b877bd0975b487ed2717 upstream.

Fix NULL-pointer dereferences on open() and write() which can be
triggered by a malicious USB device.

The current URB allocation helper would fail to initialise the newly
allocated URB if the device has unexpected endpoint descriptors,
something which could lead NULL-pointer dereferences in a number of
open() and write() paths when accessing the URB. For example:
