Subject: USB: serial: mos7840: fix NULL-deref at open

From: Johan Hovold <[email protected]>

commit 5c75633ef751dd4cd8f443dc35152c1ae563162e upstream.

Fix NULL-pointer dereference in open() should the device lack the expected endpoints:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000030

...
PC is at mos7840_open+0x88/0x8dc [mos7840]

Note that we continue to treat the interrupt-in endpoint as optional for now.
