Subject: Re: [PATCH usb-linus] USB: keyspan: fix typo causing GPF on open

Bjørn:

I patched keyspan.c using your below supplied diff in 3.6.6 (I'm not
using git.)  The patch WORKS for me.  (I tested using minicom and the
two programs that usually access the Keyspan serial device.)

Thank you for the quick fix.

Will this show up in 3.6.7?
