Subject: USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix NULL-deref at open

From: Johan Hovold <[email protected]>

commit 0dd408425eb21ddf26a692b3c8044c9e7d1a7948 upstream.

Fix NULL-pointer dereference when initialising URBs at open should a non-EPIC device lack a bulk-in or interrupt-in endpoint.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000028

...
PC is at edge_open+0x24c/0x3e8 [io_edgeport]

Note that the EPIC-device probe path has the required sanity checks so this makes those checks partially redundant.
