Subject: [PATCH] staging: fwserial: Fix potential NULL pointer dereferences

If fwtty_install() will be invoked with such tty->index that will be
not less than MAX_TOTAL_PORTS then fwtty_port_get() will return NULL and
fwtty_install() will either assign it to tty->driver_data or dereference
in fwtty_port_put() (if tty_standard_install() will fail). The similar
situation is with fwloop_install(). The patch fixes both cases.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

I do not understand what you mean here at all, sorry.

What "specifications"?

confused,
