USB: serial: console: fix use-after-free after failed setup
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Make sure to reset the USB-console port pointer when console setup fails
in order to avoid having the struct usb_serial be prematurely freed by
the console code when the device is later disconnected.
