This patch addresses a null-ptr-deref in qt2_process_read_urb() due to an incorrect bounds check in the following:
if (newport > serial->num_ports) { dev_err(&port->dev, "%s - port change to invalid port: %i\n", __func__, newport); break; }
The condition doesn't account for the valid range of the serial->port buffer, which is from 0 to serial->num_ports - 1. When newport is equal to serial->num_ports, the assignment of "port" in the following code is out-of-bounds and NULL:
serial_priv->current_port = newport; port = serial->port[serial_priv->current_port];
The fix checks if newport is greater than or equal to serial->num_ports indicating it is out-of-bounds.
