Next: [PATCH 2/3] usb console,usb-serial: fix regression use of serial->console
From: Jason Wessel on 16 Sep 2009 23:10 During the 2.6.32 development the use of serial->disc_mutex was introduced. In usb_console_setup() the call to usb_serial_get_by_index() will obtain this mutex. The usb_console_setup() must release the mutex before it completes else later calls to the usb serial core will hang.
