This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

USB: serial: ir-usb: add missing endpoint sanity check

to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2020 11:15:26 +0100 Subject: USB: serial: ir-usb: add missing endpoint sanity check

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.
