Subject[ 071/180] USB: serial: fix race between probe and open
2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@gmail.com>

commit a65a6f14dc24a90bde3f5d0073ba2364476200bf upstream.

Fix race between probe and open by making sure that the disconnected
flag is not cleared until all ports have been registered.

A call to tty_open while probe is running may get a reference to the
serial structure in serial_install before its ports have been
registered. This may lead to usb_serial_core calling driver open before
port is fully initialised.

With ftdi_sio this result in the following NULL-pointer dereference as
the private data has not been initialised at open:
