In function 'neo_intr', the driver uses 'ch->ch_equeue' and
'ch->ch_reuque'. These two pointers are initialized in 'jsm_tty_open',
but the interrupt handler 'neo_intr' has been registered in the probe
progress. If 'jsm_tty_open' has not been called at this time, it will
cause null pointer dereference.
Once the driver registers the interrupt handler, the driver should be
ready to handle it.
Fix this by allocating the memory at probe time and not at open time.
This log reveals it:

- Allocate the memory at probe time, instead of simply checking whether it
is a null pointer.

But you are not opening the device at this point in time.
Did you test this?

Are you sure this is ok for probe time?

Yes, the driver now allocates memory in the probe time instead of in
the open time. But according to the previous comments, 'ch->ch_flags'
should be changed here to prevent it from getting trounced on. I'm not
sure whether the flag needs to be changed in the current situation, so
I kept it. Perhaps this flag should be renamed, such as 'CH_PROBING'.

Yes, I did a simple test. After applying the patch, the driver can
probe normally, and the null pointer dereference in the interrupt
handler has been fixed. But I did not pay special attention to this
flag.

This is my mistake, I just copied the previous comment. Now the driver
allocates memory at probe time, so this is a redundant comment.

Same as above.

Thanks for your reminder, I realized that this is not appropriate.
Since 'channel' is allocated using 'kzalloc', these statements are
redundant. We should leave these statements in the open function, and
only allocate memory at probe time. The driver still needs to flush
the buffer when opening, I was wrong before.
