Subject: [PATCH] USB: cdc-acm: fix minor-number release

If the driver runs out of minor numbers it would release minor 0 and
allow another device to claim the minor while still in use.

Fortunately, registering the tty class device of the second device would
fail (with a stack dump) due to the sysfs name collision so no memory is
leaked.

Hi,

Congratulations for catching that one.

May I request to improve understandability of the code that you give
the constant a distinct name for this purpose? Something like

ACM_MINOR_POISON or ACM_INVALID_MINOR

so that normal people can understand the fixed code?

    Regards

Heh, thanks.

Sure, I'll use ACM_MINOR_INVALID.
