USB: serial: sierra driver indat_callback fix
A crash has been reported with sierra driver on disconnect with Ubuntu/Lucid distribution based on kernel-2.6.32. The cause of the crash was determined as "NULL tty pointer was being referenced" and the NULL pointer was passed by sierra_indat_callback(). This patch modifies sierra_indat_callback() function to check for NULL tty structure pointer. This modification prevents a crash from happening when the device is disconnected. This patch fixes the bug reported in Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/511157 Signed-off-by: Elina Pasheva <epasheva@sierrawireless.com> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
