Hi Greg,
i get the following backtrace when booting the kernel with "console=ttyUSB0
console=tty0" while using a Keyspan USA-19HS the usb-to-serial converter
connected to a desktop machine:

and this happens, imho, because in usb_console_setup(), port->tty is set to NULL
prior to calling serial->type->open() which is keyspan_open() in this case. In
keyspan_open(), otoh, some premature terminal config is done for the purposes of
the setup message by deref'ing, among others, port->tty->termios->c_flag, which,
as we saw before :) is NULL and BAM! The patch below is against current git
(v2.6.24-rc1-573-g74521c2).
---
From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]>
Remove redundant code leading to NULL ptr deref and let terminal config settings
take place in the proper initialization path in usb_console_setup().
