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
