Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] fix out-of-bounds access when specifying invalid console

Hi,

these two patches fix a crash in the tty driver when a user specifies an
invalid console like 'console=tty3000'. The first patch adds a check to
tty_driver_lookup_tty(), the second one prevents that such a console gets
registered in the vt driver.

Changes in v2:
- trim commit message in first patch
- add second patch as suggested by Jiri Slaby

Sven Schnelle (2):
  tty: fix out-of-bounds access in tty_driver_lookup_tty()
  tty/vt: prevent registration of console with invalid number
