3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ 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.
