patch "tty: mxs-auart: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference" added to tty-linus

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

tty: mxs-auart: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference

to my tty git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: tty: mxs-auart: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference

In case ioremap fails, the fix returns -ENOMEM to avoid NULL pointer dereferences.
Multiple places use port.membase.
