props[] is sized for exactly the number of properties dwc3_host_init() can populate, leaving no slot for the NULL terminator property_entries_dup() requires when usb3_lpm_capable, usb2_lpm_disable, and the <=3.00a PED quirk are all true. Size props[] for one more slot. This also clears dwc->xhci on the error path and adds a NULL check in dwc3_host_exit(), since a failed dwc3_host_init() otherwise leaves a dangling pointer that dwc3_host_exit() dereferences unconditionally on removal/shutdown.

These are two separate fixes. Can you split your change into separate patches with the corresponding Fixes tag for each? Also, please add Cc stable tag. Thanks, Thinh
