Subject: [PATCH] Char: mxser_new, do not null driver_data
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=722d5e4ae89f061582cc46ccbbd3b5ae87a6e165;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] Char: mxser_new, do not null driver_data

driver_data are initialzed to NULL from tty layer, no need to do it in the
driver.  In this case it cases oops, since driver_data may be NULL for a short
while for another closing process.
