The dev_dbg() call dereferences "urb" but it was already freed on the
previous line.  Move the debug output earlier in the function.

Thanks for catching this, but please use a temporary variable for the
struct device pointer instead of changing the flow.

Also make sure to include the driver name in the patch summary prefix
(i.e. "USB: serial: io_edgeport: ..."):

Why?  The output is the same either way and this way is cleaner code.

Sure.

Nah, you're right.  A temporary variable is nicer.  It avoids having two if
statements.

Yeah, and the debug printk belongs with the return.

v2 now applied, thanks.
