This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
serial: 8250: fix null-ptr-deref in serial8250_start_tx()
to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

I got null-ptr-deref in serial8250_start_tx():

SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is not defined on each arch, if it's not defined, serial8250_set_defaults() won't be called in serial8250_isa_init_ports(), so the p->serial_in pointer won't be initialized, and it leads a null-ptr-deref. Fix this problem by calling serial8250_set_defaults() after init uart port.
