Subject: [PATCH 3.16 62/99] USB: serial: ir-usb: add missing endpoint
 sanity check

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

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

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

commit 2988a8ae7476fe9535ab620320790d1714bdad1d upstream.

Add missing endpoint sanity check to avoid dereferencing a NULL-pointer
on open() in case a device lacks a bulk-out endpoint.

Note that prior to commit f4a4cbb2047e ("USB: ir-usb: reimplement using
generic framework") the oops would instead happen on open() if the
device lacked a bulk-in endpoint and on write() if it lacked a bulk-out
endpoint.

Fixes: f4a4cbb2047e ("USB: ir-usb: reimplement using generic framework")
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
