Subject[PATCH] USB Elan FTDI: check for workqueue creation v2
This patch prevents from NULL pointer usage if
workqueue creation failed.

Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com>

Btw, Pete, you are right! C99 ANSI standart says that static pointer
if it not initialized explicitly has to be set to NULL by compiler ;)
Thanks a lot for comments and Ack the patch please.
