From 9c7725750f3c268f0fced0bee357169ed373fc91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 09:20:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] USB: ftdi_sio: fix problem when the manufacture is a NULL string commit 656d2b3964a9d0f9864d472f8dfa2dd7dd42e6c0 upstream. On some misconfigured ftdi_sio devices, if the manufacturer string is NULL, the kernel will oops when the device is plugged in. This patch fixes the problem.
