Subject: USB: ftdi_sio: fix problem when the manufacture is a NULL string
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
commit 656d2b3964a9d0f9864d472f8dfa2dd7dd42e6c0 upstream.
On some misconfigured ftdi_sio devices, if the manufacturer string is
NULL, the kernel will oops when the device is plugged in. This patch
fixes the problem.
