Known bugs sometimes roll out into mainline release because the
alternative can be worse.

As I explained in the follow-up to my patch series, I would
not have expected Marcel to pick up any of the fixes for 3.14.
There are a lot of moving parts in usb + bluetooth + rfcomm + tty,
and the unfortunate reality is that -next doesn't get as much
testing as it should.

The fault is mine because Gianluca let me know about the
problems with the conversion to tty_port, but the holidays really
interfered with my ability to put this work first, and I'm sorry
for that.

I know the breakage around RFCOMM is frustrating but I think the
worst is behind us. After 3.15 gets some -rc testing, I will
be happy to cherry-pick the critical fixes for -stable inclusion.

Regards,
Peter Hurley
