Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] usb: dwc3: host: fix dangling xhci pointer on init failure
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 12:44:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905164448.209348-1-davidcollin899@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aptV-QHKGbMqw1uP@vbox>
dwc3_host_init()'s error path frees xhci via platform_device_put()
but never clears dwc->xhci, leaving a dangling pointer that
dwc3_host_exit() dereferences unconditionally on removal/shutdown.
Clear dwc->xhci on the error path and return early from
dwc3_host_exit() if NULL.
Fixes: d07e8819a03d ("usb: dwc3: add xHCI Host support")
